Standing with Andrzej: cervical cancer treatment costs
Andrzej is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇱 Masovia, Poland2,059 views
Andrzej was diagnosed with cervical cancer in December. The oncology team at Radom Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Andrzej is 46, worked as a bank teller until December, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Radom Cancer Centre 5 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $390
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270
• Scans and lab work: $300
• Transport to Radom Cancer Centre: $190
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Sydney this morning.
Wishing you the best, Zofia. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Any update on how things are going in Radom?
Take care, Zofia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Take care, Zofia. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Andrzej?
Thank you. If you're in Radom I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Praying for you. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
sending strength, Zofia. This could happen to any of us.
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Maringá
