Saga's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Supporting Saga through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to the Stockholm Oncology Institute, and living costs while She cannot work.

Stockholm
Saga was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at the Stockholm Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Saga is 51, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 the Stockholm Oncology Institute 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 $9,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,650 • Scans and lab work: $1,250 • Transport to the Stockholm Oncology Institute: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,460 Glad we found this place. - Fredrik
