Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Anna afford treatment in Saint Petersburg

Supporting Anna through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Saint Petersburg Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She cannot work.

Saint Petersburg
Anna was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Saint Petersburg Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Anna is 41, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Saint Petersburg 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,300 • Scans and lab work: $450 • Transport to Saint Petersburg Regional Medical Center: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • Leah E. PriceQuestion

      what's already covered and what's the $3,600 for?

      • Lidia IvanovOwnerAnswer

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $2,300. Good question.

    • Carmela T. Fernandez

      hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.

            You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
