Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Lourdes afford treatment in Sydney
Supporting Lourdes through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Sydney Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇦🇺 New South Wales, Australia4,896 views
Lourdes was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in February. The oncology team at Sydney Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Lourdes is 38, worked as a bakery worker until February, 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 Sydney Regional Medical Center 3 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $7,500 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $760
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490
If you're reading this, thank you.

what's already covered and what's the $7,500 for?
It's all in the list in the story. scans and lab work is the big one at $760, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Corpus Christi this morning.
So sorry you're going through this, Rodel. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care
