Standing with Romane: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Romane is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Boulogne-Billancourt
Romane was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in January. The oncology team at the Boulogne-Billancourt Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Romane is 28, worked as a farmer until January, 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 the Boulogne-Billancourt 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $6,900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,600 • Transport to the Boulogne-Billancourt Oncology Institute: $410 • Scans and lab work: $1,450 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $440 I hope life is good to you.

      look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Howrah this morning. Take care.

          Hope things get better soon, Jean. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

          • Gerald Watkins

            It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Houston
