Standing with Jennifer: prostate cancer treatment costs
Supporting Jennifer through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Boston University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,798 views
Jennifer was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Boston University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Jennifer is 49, 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 her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Boston University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $10,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000
• Scans and lab work: $1,300
• Transport to Boston University Hospital: $810
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,850
With deep gratitude,
Isaiah

I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Mwanza so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Get well soon. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Vadodara
Hope it all works out. Wishing Jennifer a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
