Anderson's thyroid cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at São Paulo University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil2,358 views
Anderson was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at São Paulo University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Anderson is 48, worked as a nurse until July, 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 São Paulo University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Transport to São Paulo University Hospital: $310
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,670
With deep gratitude,
Beatriz
