Leonardo was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Manchester Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Leonardo is 52, worked as a bus conductor 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 Manchester 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 $1,950 goes: โ€ข Transport to Manchester Regional Medical Center: $710 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $790 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450 Thanks for being kind about this. - Kai

    Has the treatment plan been checked by the HelpBLESS team?

      I sent the treatment plan in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. It helps to be asked.
