Standing with Mariusz: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs

Kraków
Mariusz was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in June. The oncology team at the Kraków Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Mariusz is 34, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 the Kraków Oncology Institute 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 $3,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $590 • Transport to the Kraków Oncology Institute: $420 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 • Household costs while unable to work: $700 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Julia
