Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Laura afford treatment in Madrid
Supporting Laura through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Madrid Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇪🇸 Spain1,004 views
In August I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Madrid Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Madrid Cancer Centre 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100
• Scans and lab work: $810
• Transport to Madrid Cancer Centre: $570
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460
• Household costs while unable to work: $660
Glad we found this place.

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Prayagraj
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Get well soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Ann Arbor
