Fighting cervical cancer: help Shirley afford treatment in Los Angeles

Supporting Shirley through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Los Angeles
In July I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a tailor 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 Los Angeles 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $12,850 goes: • Scans and lab work: $720 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,750 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,100 • Transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center: $1,280 Thanks for being kind about this.
