Standing with Adriana: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Uberlândia University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Adriana was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Uberlândia University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Adriana is 27, worked as a farmer 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 Uberlândia 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,050
• Scans and lab work: $460
• Transport to Uberlândia University Hospital: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240
• Household costs while unable to work: $510
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck, Marcos. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Uberlândia.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Minas Gerais. I'll ask around and let you know.
Thanks for sharing this, Marcos. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Timișoara donated after I showed her your page.
