Standing with Waylon: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Waylon is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 United States3,370 views
Waylon was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Anaheim Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Waylon is 31, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Anaheim Cancer Centre 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 $12,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360
• Scans and lab work: $1,650
• Household costs while unable to work: $990
With deep gratitude,
Katherine

Sending good thoughts, Katherine. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Niterói.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Liverpool.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Saint Petersburg.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Anaheim
rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. After 21 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
