Fighting cervical cancer: help Arianna afford treatment in Rochester

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Rochester Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Rochester
Arianna was diagnosed with cervical cancer in March. The oncology team at Rochester Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Arianna is 44, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until March, 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 Rochester Cancer Centre 5 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 $8,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,700 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Transport to Rochester Cancer Centre: $710 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,220 Thank you for reading my story.
