Standing with Luigi: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Supporting Luigi through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Rome Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇹 Italy1,427 views
In May I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. My oncology team at Rome Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a tailor until May, 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 Rome Cancer Centre 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Transport to Rome Cancer Centre: $430
• Household costs while unable to work: $660
• Scans and lab work: $860
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Luigi?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to Rome Cancer Centre, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this, Luigi. Shared this with my family.
Sending strength. Get well soon. Thinking of Rome
