Help me through 12 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Cali Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In August I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Cali Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 49, 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 Cali Cancer Centre 4 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 $850 goes: • Scans and lab work: $360 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165 • Household costs while unable to work: $325 Thank you so much. - Regina

  1. Update from Cali: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
