Dominique's prostate cancer treatment fund

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

Saint-Denis
Dominique was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February. The oncology team at Saint-Denis Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Dominique is 40, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, 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 Saint-Denis 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $10,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,350 • Transport to Saint-Denis Regional Medical Center: $880 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,230 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Monique

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Dominique?

    • Anil R. Kashyap

      Hope things get better soon, Monique. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Xalapa

      • Eko Haris Effendi

        Thinking of you, Monique. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

        • Agus Oky Hartono

          hope things get better soon, Monique. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.

          • Jade W. SullivanQuestion

            is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dominique!

            • Monique LeclercOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

              Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($6,750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.

                  Thanks for sharing this, Monique. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Rabat.
