Piraeus
Vasileios was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Piraeus Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Vasileios is 37, worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Piraeus Regional Medical Center 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 $5,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,800 • Household costs while unable to work: $940 • Scans and lab work: $800 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $160 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

          Thank you. If you're in Piraeus I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

        Rooting for you, Konstantina. Wishing Vasileios a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

        • Pooja S. SatheQuestion

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

          • Konstantina AlexiouOwnerAnswerAddress verified

            Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $3,800. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.

              Hope things get better soon, Konstantina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
