Standing with Jaxon: cervical cancer treatment costs
Supporting Jaxon through cervical cancer: medication, transport to the London Oncology Institute, and living costs while He cannot work.
Anywhere in the world8,169 views
Jaxon was diagnosed with cervical cancer in January. The oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Jaxon is 54, worked as a tailor until January, 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 the London Oncology Institute 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,050 goes:
• Transport to the London Oncology Institute: $750
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420
• Scans and lab work: $1,400
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,480
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you, Cynthia. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Cynthia. Wishing Jaxon a smooth procedure and a full recovery
