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

In July I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Anaheim University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 31, I worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 Anaheim University Hospital 2 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,150 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $790
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,200
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340
• Transport to Anaheim University Hospital: $820
Glad we found this place.
