Letícia's prostate cancer treatment fund

Letícia is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

São Paulo
Letícia was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January. The oncology team at São Paulo Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Letícia is 37, worked as a bus conductor until January, 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 São Paulo Cancer Centre 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 $2,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to São Paulo Cancer Centre: $290 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Household costs while unable to work: $360 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Hope things get better soon, Renato. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Bangkok.

      Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of São Paulo.

        Rooting for you, Renato. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Hobart
