Fighting thyroid cancer: help Zoé afford treatment in Marseille
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Marseille Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 France1,184 views
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Marseille Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a farmer 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 Marseille Regional Medical Center 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 $2,900 goes:
• Transport to Marseille Regional Medical Center: $870
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,030
Every share and every dollar helps.
