Standing with Jaxon: prostate cancer treatment costs

Jaxon is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Jaxon was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Liverpool University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Jaxon is 46, worked as a nurse until July, 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 Liverpool University Hospital 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 $3,500 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,450 • Scans and lab work: $1,350 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280 • Transport to Liverpool University Hospital: $420 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
