Standing with Luís: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at São Paulo University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Luís was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in May. The oncology team at São Paulo University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Luís is 52, worked as a shop owner until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to São Paulo University Hospital 3 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $640
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $175
• Scans and lab work: $440
• Transport to São Paulo University Hospital: $345
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Luís?
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Kanpur but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Kanpur.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
hope it all works out, Daniel. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Kinondoni but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Best of luck, Daniel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
