Standing with Edilene: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

Supporting Edilene through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Uberlândia Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Uberlândia
In August I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Uberlândia Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 35, I worked as a bus conductor until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Uberlândia Cancer Centre 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,950 goes: • Transport to Uberlândia Cancer Centre: $320 • Scans and lab work: $370 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $185 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,075 Thanks for being kind about this. - Edilene

Updates from Edilene

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 83% funded and the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Uberlândia: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 49% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 31% now ($920). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
