Standing with Eleanor: multiple myeloma treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Raleigh University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 North Carolina, United States4,194 views
Eleanor was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Raleigh University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Eleanor is 27, 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 Raleigh 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,050 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,200
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

What's already covered and what's the $10,050 for?
Sure. The biggest one is scans and lab work, $1,200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Rosario
