Standing with Szymon: cervical cancer treatment costs

Szymon is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Wrocław

In February I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Wrocław Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 30, I worked as a bakery worker until February, 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 Wrocław Cancer Centre 3 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $175 • Household costs while unable to work: $680 • Scans and lab work: $545 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Szymon

best of luck, Szymon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless

You're not alone, Szymon. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
