Standing with Ana: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Ana was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Mar del Plata Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Ana is 38, worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Mar del Plata Cancer Centre 4 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 $2,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $420 • Transport to Mar del Plata Cancer Centre: $120 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $650 I hope life is good to you.
