Guarulhos
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Guarulhos Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 49, I worked as a tailor until August, 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 Guarulhos Regional Medical Center 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 $1,250 goes: • Transport to Guarulhos Regional Medical Center: $120 • Household costs while unable to work: $640 • Scans and lab work: $490 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
