Fighting stomach cancer: help Svetlana afford treatment in Yekaterinburg
Svetlana is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In November I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Yekaterinburg University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in February. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 56, I worked as a shop owner until November, 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 Yekaterinburg University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $170
• Scans and lab work: $540
• Transport to Yekaterinburg University Hospital: $145
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,445
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Sacramento so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon, Svetlana. Hope this works out for you. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
Sending love, Svetlana. This could happen to any of us. All the best
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Love from Birmingham.
Rooting for you, Svetlana. Wishing Svetlana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Keep going, Svetlana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless!
