Standing with Monika: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Monika through colon cancer: medication, transport to Warsaw Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland1,508 views
Monika was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Warsaw Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Monika is 37, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Warsaw 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 $3,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,300
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $230
• Household costs while unable to work: $620
• Scans and lab work: $750
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Teresa. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 23 people at work. Blessings.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Thane.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Wishing Monika a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Brandon
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
