Fighting thyroid cancer: help Ariana afford treatment in San Jose

Supporting Ariana through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the San Jose Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

San Jose
In July I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at the San Jose Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a tailor until July, 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 San Jose Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $12,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to the San Jose Oncology Institute: $940 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $790 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,270 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Praying for you, Ariana. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. After 8 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
