Standing with Tiffany: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Tiffany is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States4,831 views
Tiffany was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in October. The oncology team at San Francisco Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Tiffany is 26, worked as a bus conductor until October, 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 Francisco Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $6,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,250
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,100
• Scans and lab work: $1,200

Good luck, Jack. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Savar this morning.
Wishing you peace, Jack. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Manila.
stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Thinking of you, Jack. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Parma so I could bring a meal
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Lagos.
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Keep going, Jack. Hope the doctors have good news!
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Atlanta but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Jack. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
