6 rounds of treatment are planned at São Paulo University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Thiago was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in June. The oncology team at São Paulo University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Thiago is 52, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 São Paulo University Hospital 2 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 $2,500 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210
• Scans and lab work: $430
• Transport to São Paulo University Hospital: $270
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,590
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Thiago
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the biggest at $210. Thanks for looking so closely.
hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of São Paulo!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Thiago?
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Cebu City but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
rooting for you, Samuel. Hope the doctors have good news.
