Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Tiago afford treatment in Niterói

Supporting Tiago through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Niterói University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Niterói
Tiago was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April. The oncology team at Niterói University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Tiago is 56, worked as a farmer until April, 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 Niterói University Hospital 3 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,150 goes: • Transport to Niterói University Hospital: $250 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,750 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tiago.

    • Renata Antônia AzevedoOwnerAnswerAddress verified

      Transport to Niterói University Hospital is $250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Madelyn A. Schultz

                      get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
