Standing with Carmela: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
Supporting Carmela through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Bacolod Cancer Centre, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,647 views
Carmela was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in April. The oncology team at Bacolod Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Carmela is 37, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Bacolod Cancer Centre 2 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 $1,250 goes:
• Transport to Bacolod Cancer Centre: $90
• Household costs while unable to work: $330
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $660
• Scans and lab work: $170
Every share and every dollar helps.
