Standing with Julian: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Julian is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Julian was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Oakland Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Julian is 45, worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 Oakland Cancer Centre 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 $2,250 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $770 • Household costs while unable to work: $780 • Transport to Oakland Cancer Centre: $700 Thank you for reading my story. - Walter

    • Ingrid SchäferQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Julian.

      • Walter ReyesOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($770) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

          best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
