Standing with Angela: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Supporting Angela through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Brescia University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, Italy1,070 views
Angela was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in September. The oncology team at Brescia University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Angela is 41, worked as a tailor until September, 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 Brescia University Hospital 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 $2,450 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,000
• Transport to Brescia University Hospital: $620
• Scans and lab work: $420
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Brescia.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Wollongong this morning. Take care.
Get well soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Keep going, Greta. Hope you get there. Blessings.
