Patrícia's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Supporting Patrícia through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Fortaleza Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇧🇷 Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil991 views
Patrícia was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Fortaleza Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Patrícia is 37, worked as a taxi driver 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 Fortaleza 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Transport to Fortaleza Cancer Centre: $280
• Household costs while unable to work: $720
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Patrícia!
Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $1,050. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
so sorry you're going through this, Arthur. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
