Federica's cervical cancer treatment fund
Supporting Federica through cervical cancer: medication, transport to the Turin Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇹 Italy1,495 views
In July I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at the Turin Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 the Turin Oncology Institute 4 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,550 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $750
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250
• Transport to the Turin Oncology Institute: $550
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Federica. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Riyadh.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Federica
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this, Federica. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Sending strength, Federica. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together
Wishing you the best, Federica. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Turin.
