Standing with Amanda: prostate cancer treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Duque de Caxias Oncology Institute; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Duque de Caxias
Amanda was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May. The oncology team at the Duque de Caxias Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Amanda is 57, worked as a farmer until May, 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 Duque de Caxias Oncology Institute 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 $1,650 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Household costs while unable to work: $310 Thanks for reading all this.
