Liza's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Manila Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Manila
Liza was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Manila Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Liza is 36, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Manila Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $680 • Scans and lab work: $310 • Transport to Manila Cancer Centre: $190 • Household costs while unable to work: $370 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Patricia
