Standing with Zoe: stomach cancer treatment costs

Supporting Zoe through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Anaheim Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Anaheim
Zoe was diagnosed with stomach cancer in March. The oncology team at Anaheim Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Zoe is 41, worked as a nurse until March, 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 Anaheim Cancer Centre 5 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 $12,600 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $2,650 • Transport to Anaheim Cancer Centre: $770 • Scans and lab work: $690 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,490 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Nolan
