Standing with Angel: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Supporting Angel through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Manila Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,630 views
Angel was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at the Manila Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Angel is 25, worked as a nurse 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 the Manila 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 $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760
• Scans and lab work: $190
• Transport to the Manila Oncology Institute: $140
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $160

You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Auckland but we're thinking of you. God bless
You're not alone, Paolo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Best of luck, Paolo. Hope you get there. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending good thoughts, Paolo. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Manila.
Praying for you. Get well soon. Love from Santarém
Thanks for sharing this, Paolo. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong, Paolo. Wishing Angel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Saket.
