Fighting multiple myeloma: help Oskar afford treatment in Katowice
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Katowice Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇵🇱 Katowice, Silesia, Poland1,823 views
Oskar was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Katowice Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Oskar is 24, worked as a shop owner until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Katowice Cancer Centre 5 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
• Scans and lab work: $350
• Transport to Katowice Cancer Centre: $240
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Stanisław. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Chennai
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oskar.
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $3,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Katowice.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 19 people at work. Take care.
