Help Gilles through 12 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Paris Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France807 views
Gilles was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Paris Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Gilles is 34, worked as a tailor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Paris Regional Medical Center 2 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $610
• Scans and lab work: $1,450
• Transport to Paris Regional Medical Center: $990
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

praying for you, Sophie. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best
Wishing you the best, Sophie. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Stay strong, Sophie. Hope the doctors have good news.
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
What exactly is the $10,050 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $7,000.
You're not alone, Sophie. I hope things turn around soon.
sending love, Sophie. Wishing Gilles a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Rio de Janeiro so I could bring a meal. Love from Mumbai.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Tampa but we're thinking of you. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Birmingham.
