Help Odette through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Toulouse University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Odette was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in May. The oncology team at Toulouse University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Odette is 44, worked as a nurse until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Toulouse University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000
• Transport to Toulouse University Hospital: $830
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,620
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Colette. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Colette. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning. Greetings from San Jose
Hope things get better soon, Colette. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
You're not alone, Colette. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Toulouse.
Sending good thoughts, Colette. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
