Marcos's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

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

Memphis
Marcos was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Memphis Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Marcos is 46, 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 him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Memphis 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,950 • Scans and lab work: $760 • Transport to Memphis Cancer Centre: $1,250 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $840 • Household costs while unable to work: $850 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Wishing Marcos a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings

      • Mariana N. Moreno

        So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Khulna this morning. Blessings.

          Hope it all works out, Mercedes. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Bursa donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Memphis

              Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Memphis.

                Sending good thoughts, Mercedes. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

                  I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bergamo.
