Standing with Faith: stomach cancer treatment costs

Supporting Faith through stomach cancer: medication, transport to the Aberdeen Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Aberdeen
Faith was diagnosed with stomach cancer in December. The oncology team at the Aberdeen Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Faith is 55, worked as a tailor until December, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Aberdeen Oncology Institute 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,750 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490 • Scans and lab work: $1,500 • Transport to the Aberdeen Oncology Institute: $760 With deep gratitude, Lincoln

    Good luck, Lincoln. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

      Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 30 people at work.

      • Tyler M. Frazier

        Sending love, Lincoln. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

        • Noman Nahid Karim

          Hope it all works out, Lincoln. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

          • John Wekesa Waweru

            Sending love. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together.

              rooting for you. Wishing Faith a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
