Yan's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

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

Riverside
Yan was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in June. The oncology team at Riverside Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Yan is 45, worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 Riverside 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 $6,700 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,600 • Scans and lab work: $1,350 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,390 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Yue
