Campinas
In June I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Campinas Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a nurse until June, 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 Campinas Regional Medical Center 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 $2,800 goes: • Transport to Campinas Regional Medical Center: $350 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500 • Household costs while unable to work: $755 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Antônio

    Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Campinas.

    • Good luck. Wishing Antônio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.

        how is Antônio doing now?

        • Wishing you peace, Antônio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Madrid but we're thinking of you.

          • Thinking of you and your family, Antônio. Get well soon. God bless.

            • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Antônio?

              • Antônio FariasOwnerAnswer

                Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to Campinas Regional Medical Center, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.

            • Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.

              • What's already covered and what's the $2,800 for?

                • Antônio FariasOwnerAnswer

                  Sure. The biggest one is transport to Campinas Regional Medical Center, $350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

              • Hope it all works out, Antônio. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.

                    • So sorry you're going through this, Antônio. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Üsküdar.

                      • Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Eldoret
