Duque de Caxias
Wellington was diagnosed with cervical cancer in February. The oncology team at Duque de Caxias Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Wellington is 47, worked as a bus conductor until February, 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 Duque de Caxias Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,700 goes: • Scans and lab work: $290 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,050 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Transport to Duque de Caxias Regional Medical Center: $235 Thanks for being kind about this.
