Christchurch
In June I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at the Christchurch Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a taxi driver until June, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Christchurch Oncology Institute 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $6,050 goes: โ€ข Transport to the Christchurch Oncology Institute: $760 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,200 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $580 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Love from Leicester.

    • look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

      • Hope it all works out, Hui. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Aurangabad but we're thinking of you. Take care.
