Standing with Rowan: stomach cancer treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Dallas Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇺🇸 United States1,150 views
Rowan was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Dallas Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Rowan is 54, 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 Dallas Regional Medical Center 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 $4,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340
• Transport to Dallas Regional Medical Center: $610
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Ariana. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Best of luck, Ariana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Khulna so I could bring a meal
Sending strength, Ariana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Thinking of you, Ariana. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Daegu
Best of luck, Ariana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Rowan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
