Fighting kidney cancer: help Fotini afford treatment in Piraeus

Fotini is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Piraeus
Fotini was diagnosed with kidney cancer in July. The oncology team at Piraeus Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Fotini is 39, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Piraeus Regional Medical Center 4 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 $4,000 goes: • Scans and lab work: $650 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $420 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100 • Household costs while unable to work: $830 Thanks for reading all this. - Petros
