Standing with Long: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
Supporting Long through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Rockford Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 Illinois, United States2,088 views
Long was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in April. The oncology team at the Rockford Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Long is 26, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Rockford 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 $10,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250
• Scans and lab work: $980
• Transport to the Rockford Oncology Institute: $680
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $720
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,420
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Keep going, Li. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
so sorry you're going through this, Li. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Keep going, Li. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Üsküdar donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Li. Get well soon
