Leonardo's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Leonardo is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Baton Rouge
In June I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Baton Rouge Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 56, I worked as a hairdresser until June, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Baton Rouge Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,500 • Transport to Baton Rouge Cancer Centre: $710 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $840 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,900 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Leonardo

          Good luck, Leonardo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Bekasi.
