Fighting thyroid cancer: help Oliwia afford treatment in Warsaw
Supporting Oliwia through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the Warsaw Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland569 views
In March I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at the Warsaw Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 36, I worked as a tailor until March, 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 Warsaw 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270
• Household costs while unable to work: $830
• Transport to the Warsaw Oncology Institute: $420
• Scans and lab work: $430
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Oliwia. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Birmingham.
Hope things get better soon, Oliwia. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Warsaw.
Stay strong, Oliwia. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Faisalabad.
