Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Guadalupe afford treatment in La Plata
Guadalupe is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Argentina1,933 views
In August I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at La Plata Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a nurse 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 La Plata Cancer Centre 4 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 $3,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,150
• Scans and lab work: $400
• Transport to La Plata Cancer Centre: $240
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165
• Household costs while unable to work: $595
I hope life is good to you.
