Charmaine's stomach cancer treatment fund

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Bacolod Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Bacolod
Charmaine was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Bacolod Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Charmaine is 35, worked as a tailor 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 Bacolod Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $810 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Bacolod Cancer Centre: $155 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135 • Household costs while unable to work: $220 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    So sorry you're going through this, Gilbert. Hope the doctors have good news. After 8 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
