Catalin's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Timișoara University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇷🇴 Romania4,834 views
Catalin was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in April. The oncology team at Timișoara University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Catalin is 53, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Timișoara 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Transport to Timișoara University Hospital: $165
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,900
• Household costs while unable to work: $700
• Scans and lab work: $285
Thank you so much.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Timișoara
Thank you. If you're in Timișoara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Catalin.
Transport to Timișoara University Hospital is $165 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Timișoara.
how is Catalin doing now?
sending strength, Ana. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
sending love, Ana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Timișoara
Take care. Wishing Catalin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Mekelle.
Praying for you, Ana. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Hubballi so I could bring a meal
Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Rome donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mbale
