Help Paolo through 4 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Supporting Paolo through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Latina Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.

Latina
Paolo was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Latina Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Paolo is 49, worked as a bus conductor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Latina Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to Latina Regional Medical Center: $630 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $430 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,140 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Hope things get better soon, Federica. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

        wishing you peace, Federica. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

          Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
