Reims
In June I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at the Reims Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 35, I worked as a bank teller until June, 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 the Reims Oncology Institute 5 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 $7,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,950 • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Transport to the Reims Oncology Institute: $890 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,870 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Arthur

      rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal. Love from Pune.

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arthur.

            • Arthur FontaineOwnerAnswer

              Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $2,950 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
