Standing with Marisa: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
Supporting Marisa through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Padua Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,987 views
Marisa was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in March. The oncology team at Padua Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Marisa is 26, worked as a bank teller until March, 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 Padua Cancer Centre 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 $8,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Padua Cancer Centre: $730
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $210
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,060
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Anna. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Poznań donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
