Help Igor through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer
Igor is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇷🇺 Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia1,014 views
Igor was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Novosibirsk Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Igor is 33, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Novosibirsk Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $740
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270
• Scans and lab work: $190
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Kateryna
Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($154). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.

hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Novosibirsk
Thanks for sharing this, Kateryna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Keep going, Kateryna. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
hang in there. Wishing Igor a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
