Bianca's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Bianca through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to São Paulo University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,476 views
Bianca was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at São Paulo University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Bianca is 49, worked as a primary school teacher until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to São Paulo University Hospital 2 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $380
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Household costs while unable to work: $370
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of São Paulo
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier
