Standing with Camila: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
Camila is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇦🇷 Argentina927 views
Camila was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Buenos Aires University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Camila is 24, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Buenos Aires University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,100
• Scans and lab work: $260
• Transport to Buenos Aires University Hospital: $260
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $195
• Household costs while unable to work: $435
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Irene. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Polokwane but we're thinking of you.

This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Rawalpindi.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
