Standing with Gianna: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
Supporting Gianna through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Sacramento Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United StatesPosted Oct 1, 20265,097 views
Gianna was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at the Sacramento Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Gianna is 31, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 the Sacramento Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250
• Scans and lab work: $630
• Transport to the Sacramento Oncology Institute: $490
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,070
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Jack. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Nha Trang.
Shared it with a few friends. After 16 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Contagem
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
