Giuseppe's thyroid cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Rome Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇹 Italy3,825 views
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Rome Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a bank teller 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 Rome 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,650
• Scans and lab work: $650
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $300
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Giuseppe. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Wishing you peace, Giuseppe. Wishing Giuseppe a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
