Claudio's prostate cancer treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Palermo Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇹 Palermo, Sicily, Italy900 views
Claudio was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September. The oncology team at Palermo Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Claudio is 27, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until September, 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 Palermo Regional Medical Center 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $7,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,650
• Scans and lab work: $1,400
• Transport to Palermo Regional Medical Center: $830
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,850
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Giorgia. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Good luck, Giorgia. Hope this works out for you. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless.

Hope it all works out, Giorgia. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Makassar.
Wishing you the best, Giorgia. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you, Giorgia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
