Standing with Kathleen: cervical cancer treatment costs
Kathleen is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,964 views
Kathleen was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Angeles University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Kathleen is 31, worked as a nurse 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 Angeles 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Transport to Angeles University Hospital: $190
• Scans and lab work: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

rooting for you, Pedro. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Liverpool.
Is transport to Angeles University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Angeles.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Angeles
wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dwarka
