Arianna's a rare sarcoma treatment fund

Arianna is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

El Paso
In July I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at the El Paso Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, 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 the El Paso Oncology Institute 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 $11,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to the El Paso Oncology Institute: $590 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $520 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,490 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        Rooting for you, Arianna. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          So sorry you're going through this, Arianna. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 33 people at work. Take care.

              thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
