London
In May I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at London Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 48, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to London Regional Medical Center 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $10,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,800 • Transport to London Regional Medical Center: $940 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,370 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Karan

      So sorry you're going through this, Karan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Brandon.

              I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Freiburg.

                  Take care, Karan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

                    What's already covered and what's the $10,000 for?

                    • Karan BajpaiOwnerAnswer

                      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($5,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
