Standing with Igor: thyroid cancer treatment costs
Supporting Igor through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Wrocław Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world2,126 views
Igor was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Wrocław Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Igor is 31, worked as a bus conductor 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 Wrocław Cancer Centre 5 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 $2,300 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Transport to Wrocław Cancer Centre: $280
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300
• Scans and lab work: $500

Thinking of you and your family, Irena. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Cali.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Take care, Irena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
