Standing with Hazel: multiple myeloma treatment costs

12 rounds of treatment are planned at San Jose Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

San Jose
Hazel was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at San Jose Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Hazel is 27, worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 San Jose Cancer Centre 4 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 $12,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to San Jose Cancer Centre: $840 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,700 Thank you so much.

    Thinking of you, Matthew. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of San Jose.

    • Isaac W. Whitaker

      Wishing you the best, Matthew. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

        thanks for sharing this, Matthew. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bandung.
