Patricia's prostate cancer treatment fund

Patricia is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Fresno
Patricia was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Fresno University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Patricia is 36, worked as a bank teller until April, 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 Fresno University Hospital 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 $10,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000 • Scans and lab work: $840 • Transport to Fresno University Hospital: $790 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,210 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rosa
