Standing with Tanya: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Kingston Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Kingston
Tanya was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at Kingston Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Tanya is 40, worked as a shop owner until May, 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 Kingston 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,900 goes: • Transport to Kingston Regional Medical Center: $110 • Scans and lab work: $320 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,210 I hope life is good to you. - Junior

Updates from Junior

  1. We're at 15% thanks to 5 of you. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($465 in total) the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($135). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

    You're not alone, Junior. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Belfast
