Standing with Nolan: stomach cancer treatment costs
Nolan is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States3,256 views
Nolan was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at San Jose University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Nolan is 42, worked as a primary school teacher 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 San Jose University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Transport to San Jose University Hospital: $1,050
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350
With deep gratitude,
Lawrence

you're not alone, Lawrence. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Depok.
sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours
You're not alone, Lawrence. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Shreveport so I could bring a meal. Take care.
