Bruno's prostate cancer treatment fund

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

Bruno was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at Porto Alegre Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Bruno is 51, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Porto Alegre Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,150 goes: • Scans and lab work: $490 • Household costs while unable to work: $470 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Roberto

Updates from Roberto

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($139 in total) the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
