Standing with Maksym: stomach cancer treatment costs
Supporting Maksym through stomach cancer: medication, transport to the Yekaterinburg Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,901 views
Maksym was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at the Yekaterinburg Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Maksym is 42, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Yekaterinburg Oncology Institute 4 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 $2,650 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $460
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,800
• Transport to the Yekaterinburg Oncology Institute: $225
Glad we found this place.

thanks for sharing this. Wishing Maksym a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Maksym.
It's all in the list in the story. household costs while unable to work is the big one at $460, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
praying for you, Inna. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
