Jameson was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in May. The oncology team at Fresno University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Jameson is 42, worked as a bakery worker until May, 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 Fresno University Hospital 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $14,200 goes: โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,500 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $1,900 โ€ข Transport to Fresno University Hospital: $1,100 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $800 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $900 Thanks for being kind about this. - Carter
