Help me through 6 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Belém Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇷 Belém, Pará, Brazil831 views
In August I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Belém Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a tailor 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 Belém Regional Medical Center 2 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 $2,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,850
• Scans and lab work: $400
• Transport to Belém Regional Medical Center: $200
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $145
• Household costs while unable to work: $305
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

good luck, Carolina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Corpus Christi donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
hope it all works out, Carolina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Siliguri.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
