Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Joanna afford treatment in Warsaw
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Warsaw Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland859 views
In August I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Warsaw Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a primary school teacher 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 Warsaw Regional Medical Center 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 $950 goes:
• Transport to Warsaw Regional Medical Center: $330
• Scans and lab work: $510
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
Thank you so much.

Is transport to Warsaw Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Warsaw.
You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Joanna. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
