Contagem

Tatiane was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November. The oncology team at Contagem Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Tatiane is 50, worked as a hairdresser until November, 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 Contagem Regional Medical Center 4 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 $3,500 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,750 • Transport to Contagem Regional Medical Center: $250 • Scans and lab work: $230 If you're reading this, thank you.
