Standing with Edson: multiple myeloma treatment costs
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Feira de Santana University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Edson was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at Feira de Santana University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Edson is 25, worked as a bus conductor until May, 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 Feira de Santana 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $280
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,000
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $220
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you and your family, Camila. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Feira de Santana.
Wishing you the best, Camila. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours
Take care, Camila. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Edson!
Scans and lab work is $280 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Alicante.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out, Camila. Looking forward to the next update.
stay strong, Camila. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up
