Standing with Arnel: cervical cancer treatment costs
Arnel is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines1,017 views
Arnel was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Cebu City Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Arnel is 45, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, 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 Cebu City 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $750 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Transport to Cebu City Cancer Centre: $140
I hope life is good to you.
