Yevhen's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Yevhen is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇷🇺 Russia1,816 views
In June I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Moscow Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 37, I worked as a nurse until June, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Moscow Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $490
• Transport to Moscow Regional Medical Center: $220
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Household costs while unable to work: $270
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope it all works out, Yevhen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yevhen?
Thinking of you, Yevhen. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Moscow.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Moscow.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Fresno.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yevhen.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $1,100.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Keep going, Yevhen. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
How is Yevhen doing now?
Good luck. Hope you get there. Love from Lagos.
