Standing with Roman: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Supporting Roman through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Dallas University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 75255, Dallas, Texas, United States1,156 views
Roman was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in January. The oncology team at Dallas University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Roman is 35, worked as a construction supervisor until January, 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 Dallas University Hospital 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 $9,900 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,450
• Scans and lab work: $1,480
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love. Wishing Roman a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
rooting for you, Parker. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Dallas.
Rooting for you, Parker. This could happen to any of us.
Praying for you, Parker. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings!
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Dallas.
hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Bloemfontein.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
