Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Michelle afford treatment in Pasig
Michelle is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines1,833 views
Michelle was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Pasig University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Michelle is 45, worked as a nurse 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 Pasig University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Transport to Pasig University Hospital: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $245
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Dennis. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from East London.
