Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Angelica afford treatment in San Fernando
Supporting Angelica through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to San Fernando Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,528 views
In August I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at San Fernando Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 55, I worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Fernando Cancer Centre 5 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 $500 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
• Transport to San Fernando Cancer Centre: $170
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Angelica. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Yonkers
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Birmingham.
Your post was clear and honest. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best
Stay strong, Angelica. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
