Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Janet afford treatment in Tucson

12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Tucson Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Tucson
Janet was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at the Tucson Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Janet is 32, worked as a farmer until July, 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 the Tucson Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $6,100 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $650 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,500 • Transport to the Tucson Oncology Institute: $950 Thank you for reading my story.
