Martine's cervical cancer treatment fund
Martine is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world2,234 views
Martine was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Saint-Denis Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Martine is 41, worked as a shop owner 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 Saint-Denis Regional Medical Center 3 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 $8,600 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,550
• Transport to Saint-Denis Regional Medical Center: $560
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,490
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Hugo. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
What exactly is the $8,600 for?
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Hanoi.
hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Wishing Martine a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
