Standing with Jordan: thyroid cancer treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at San Francisco University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States6,322 views
Jordan was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at San Francisco University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Jordan is 57, worked as a primary school teacher 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 San Francisco 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 $6,000 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $940
• Transport to San Francisco University Hospital: $470
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,950
• Scans and lab work: $640
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
