Anderson's stomach cancer treatment fund

Anderson is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Anderson was diagnosed with stomach cancer in October. The oncology team at Recife Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Anderson is 43, worked as a taxi driver until October, 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 Recife Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,000 • Scans and lab work: $460 • Transport to Recife Regional Medical Center: $280 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140 • Household costs while unable to work: $570 Thanks for being kind about this. - Fabiana

      hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        Wishing you the best, Fabiana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.

        • Márcia Ana Souza

          You're not alone, Fabiana. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

            can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Recife

              Thank you. If you're in Recife I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

          • Walter R. Fuller

            take care, Fabiana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page.

                    wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
