Fighting multiple myeloma: help Gianna afford treatment in San Antonio
Supporting Gianna through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to San Antonio University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 United States8,379 views
In May I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at San Antonio University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 33, I worked as a primary school teacher until May, 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 San Antonio University Hospital 2 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 $10,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750
• Scans and lab work: $990
• Transport to San Antonio University Hospital: $370
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $770
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,220
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

What exactly is the $10,100 for?
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $6,750 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Take care, Gianna. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Zagazig!
Best of luck, Gianna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless!
Hang in there, Gianna. Get well soon
