Standing with Konstantinos: thyroid cancer treatment costs

Konstantinos is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Konstantinos was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Athens University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Konstantinos is 44, worked as a farmer until May, 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 Athens University Hospital 2 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 $3,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,550 • Scans and lab work: $780 • Transport to Athens University Hospital: $410 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $330 • Household costs while unable to work: $480 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

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

        • Maria Charikleia AlexiouOwnerAnswer

          It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $1,550, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
