Where it goes
Support does not go into a pot with a goal attached. Practically, it offsets the recurring medical side of this:
- Scans and imaging[[ imaging cadence and what each round runs after insurance ]]
- Procedures and follow-up[[ procedures to date, plus follow-up and physio ]]
- Travel and lost time[[ travel to the treating centre, and time not working ]]
Ballpark categories, not a bill and not a fundraising target. Nothing here is owed to anyone and no amount is expected.
