Standing with Landon: multiple myeloma treatment costs

6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Cardiff Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Cardiff
Landon was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. The oncology team at the Cardiff Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Landon is 45, worked as a primary school teacher until March, 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 the Cardiff Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $6,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,200 • Transport to the Cardiff Oncology Institute: $950 • Household costs while unable to work: $900 Thank you so much. - Emma
