Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Flávio afford treatment in Vitória da Conquista
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Vitória da Conquista Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Flávio was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Vitória da Conquista Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Flávio is 34, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Vitória da Conquista 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
• Scans and lab work: $350
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
