Standing with Tammy: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Tammy is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Tammy was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in February. The oncology team at San Antonio University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Tammy is 41, worked as a hairdresser until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to San Antonio University Hospital 3 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $9,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250 • Scans and lab work: $800 • Transport to San Antonio University Hospital: $580 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $760 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,360 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Rooting for you, Weston. Hope the doctors have good news.

      Thanks for sharing this, Weston. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!

      • Rony Uddin

        Hope it all works out, Weston. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Manila donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Manila.

        • Gerardo E. Ávila

          So sorry you're going through this, Weston. Hope you get there.

          • Logan Tillman

            Best of luck, Weston. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
