Josefin's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Uppsala Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world459 views
Josefin was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in September. The oncology team at Uppsala Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Josefin is 29, 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 Uppsala Cancer Centre 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 $4,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,650
• Scans and lab work: $620
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380
• Household costs while unable to work: $750

So sorry you're going through this, Sara. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Syracuse!
Thinking of you, Sara. Looking forward to the next update!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Surabaya but we're thinking of you. God bless.
