Elena's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Venice Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In August I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Venice Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 30, I worked as a hairdresser until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Venice Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $5,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,450
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Transport to Venice Regional Medical Center: $330
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,120
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace, Elena. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Cape Town.

Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Venice.
