Standing with Fe: thyroid cancer treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Quezon City University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Quezon City
Fe was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at Quezon City University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Fe is 38, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Quezon City 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 $800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650 • Transport to Quezon City University Hospital: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Paolo

        Keep going, Paolo. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
