Fighting prostate cancer: help Ines afford treatment in Marseille
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Marseille Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France4,248 views
Ines was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at Marseille Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Ines is 35, worked as a taxi driver 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 Marseille Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,200
• Scans and lab work: $1,250
• Transport to Marseille Regional Medical Center: $500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $690
• Household costs while unable to work: $810

thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
hope things get better soon, Ziad. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from San Diego
Sending good thoughts, Ziad. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
