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

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

Saint Petersburg
Diana was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in September. The oncology team at Saint Petersburg Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Diana is 44, worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 Cancer Centre 2 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 $2,450 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,000 • Transport to Saint Petersburg Cancer Centre: $180 Thank you so much. - Inna
