Standing with Halyna: thyroid cancer treatment costs

12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Kharkiv Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Kharkiv
Halyna was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February. The oncology team at the Kharkiv Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Halyna is 54, worked as a bus conductor until February, 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 Kharkiv 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,600 • Scans and lab work: $310 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Transport to the Kharkiv Oncology Institute: $140 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Timur
