Help me through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer

Isabel is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In June I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Cebu City Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, I worked as a bank teller 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 Cebu City 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to Cebu City Cancer Centre: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Household costs while unable to work: $235 If you're reading this, thank you.
