Standing with Igor: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Igor is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Igor was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Kharkiv Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Igor is 47, worked as a nurse until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Kharkiv Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $770 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Transport to Kharkiv Regional Medical Center: $95 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $285 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Halyna

  1. Quick update: $450 raised so far (30%). I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 12% funded and I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($218 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
