Help Oksana through 12 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer

Supporting Oksana through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to the Saint Petersburg Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Saint Petersburg
Oksana was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at the Saint Petersburg Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Oksana is 48, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 the Saint Petersburg Oncology Institute 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,050 goes: • Transport to the Saint Petersburg Oncology Institute: $330 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,450 • Scans and lab work: $175 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Rooting for you, Taras. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Medan so I could bring a meal
