Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Maeve afford treatment in Dublin
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Dublin Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Maeve was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in June. The oncology team at Dublin Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Maeve is 42, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Dublin Regional Medical Center 2 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 $6,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,300
• Scans and lab work: $970
• Transport to Dublin Regional Medical Center: $760
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570
• Household costs while unable to work: $900
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

stay strong, Conor. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 4 people at work. Blessings.
Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Dublin.
Praying for you, Conor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Berlin.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Maeve.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
How is Maeve doing now?
Praying for you, Conor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Tuxtla Gutiérrez
Wishing you the best, Conor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted.
Sending love, Conor. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page
