Help Rolando through 12 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Pasig Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇵🇭 Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines4,056 views
Rolando was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Pasig Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Rolando is 43, worked as a shop owner 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 Pasig 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to Pasig Regional Medical Center: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
Thanks for reading all this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Rolando?
Thank you. If you're in Pasig I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Salvador but we're thinking of you. Take care
Good luck, Emmanuel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rolando
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $1,500, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts, Emmanuel. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
sending love. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Bandung this morning. Love from Bandung.
Sending love, Emmanuel. Hope you get there. Take care.
Good luck, Emmanuel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
