Sylvie's thyroid cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Poitiers Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 Poitiers, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France6,699 views
Sylvie was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Poitiers Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Sylvie is 37, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Poitiers 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Scans and lab work: $450
• Transport to Poitiers Regional Medical Center: $670
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $760
• Household costs while unable to work: $620
Thanks for reading all this.
