Marius's kidney cancer treatment fund
Marius is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇷🇴 Timișoara, Timiș, Romania2,912 views
In August I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Timișoara Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Timișoara Cancer Centre 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,350
• Scans and lab work: $260
• Transport to Timișoara Cancer Centre: $220
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
• Household costs while unable to work: $300
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

thanks for sharing this, Marius. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Radom!
So sorry you're going through this, Marius. Wishing Marius a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Marius. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Marius. Hope you get there. Thinking of Timișoara.
