Fighting thyroid cancer: help Francesca afford treatment in Latina
4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Latina Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy676 views
In October I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at the Latina Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a construction supervisor until October, 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 Latina Oncology Institute 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $680
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500
• Transport to the Latina Oncology Institute: $420
I hope life is good to you.
