Standing with Nicholas: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Nicholas is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom4,580 views
Nicholas was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July. The oncology team at Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Nicholas is 30, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,700
• Transport to Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre: $890
• Scans and lab work: $1,510
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Praying for you, Donna. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Edinburgh so I could bring a meal. Love from Manchester.
what's already covered and what's the $9,100 for?
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $5,000, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending good thoughts, Donna. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Sending good thoughts, Donna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
