Irini's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Supporting Irini through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Athens Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇬🇷 Greece2,045 views
Irini was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in September. The oncology team at the Athens Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Irini is 51, worked as a tailor until September, 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 the Athens Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400
• Transport to the Athens Oncology Institute: $310
• Scans and lab work: $410
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,780
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts, Sotiris. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Athens.
