Standing with Long: prostate cancer treatment costs

Long was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February. The oncology team at Knoxville Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Long is 58, worked as a shop owner 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 Knoxville 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 $10,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,650 • Scans and lab work: $1,800 • Transport to Knoxville Cancer Centre: $1,200 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $730 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,970 Thanks for reading all this.
