Geneviève's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Paris Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France3,786 views
Geneviève was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in December. The oncology team at Paris Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Geneviève is 42, worked as a taxi driver until December, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Paris Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $6,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,300
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Paris Cancer Centre: $460
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,060
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Geneviève?
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Pasig.
So sorry you're going through this, Paul. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Sending love, Paul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
