Mandaue
In July I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Mandaue Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a bank teller 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 Mandaue Regional Medical Center 3 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $710 • Scans and lab work: $185 • Transport to Mandaue Regional Medical Center: $220 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165 • Household costs while unable to work: $270 I hope life is good to you.

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

          • Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $710. 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.

        • thinking of you, Angelica. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Anaheim.

          • take care. Wishing Angelica a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
