Standing with Riccardo: prostate cancer treatment costs
Riccardo is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇹 Veneto, Italy6,128 views
Riccardo was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at Verona Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Riccardo is 27, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Verona Regional Medical Center 4 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 $5,400 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $280
• Transport to Verona Regional Medical Center: $620
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Rosa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 35 people at work. Blessings.
Hang in there, Rosa. Shared this with my family. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Verona.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Rockford but we're thinking of you. Take care.
best of luck, Rosa. Wishing Riccardo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Verona!
gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Verona.
