Help me through 10 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Latina University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Latina
In August I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Latina University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 45, I worked as a shop owner 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 Latina University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,300 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280 • Scans and lab work: $500 • Transport to Latina University Hospital: $520 Every share and every dollar helps. - Rita

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Latina.

      Thank you. If you're in Latina I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

      How is Rita doing now?

      • Joshua W. Pangilinan

        I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

          Hang in there, Rita. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Jimma.
