Standing with Junior: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
Supporting Junior through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Kingston Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇯🇲 Jamaica1,074 views
Junior was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in February. The oncology team at Kingston Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Junior is 37, worked as a nurse until February, 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 Kingston Regional Medical Center 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 $3,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100
• Scans and lab work: $520
• Transport to Kingston Regional Medical Center: $185
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $230
• Household costs while unable to work: $565
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Junior
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $2,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Cairns!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Kingston
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Wudil donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
