Standing with Eva: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In December I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in March. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a shop owner until December, 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 Los Angeles Regional Medical Center 4 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 $13,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,650 • Transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center: $900 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $740 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,160 With deep gratitude, Eva

Updates from Eva

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,326 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $810 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

      What exactly is the $13,200 for?

        Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $8,750. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
