Ugo's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Latina Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Latina
In October I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Latina Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a bank teller until October, 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 Latina Regional Medical Center 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 $9,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Scans and lab work: $1,000 • Transport to Latina Regional Medical Center: $700 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,220 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Ugo

Updates from Ugo

  1. Update from Latina: I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • wishing you peace, Ugo. Shared this with my family. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Latina.

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ugo.

      • Ugo Rocco FioreOwnerAnswer

        Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $5,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.

    • You're not alone, Ugo. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings

        Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

        • Stay strong, Ugo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Da Nang.

            how is Ugo doing now?

            • Rooting for you, Ugo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

              • Sending good thoughts, Ugo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

                • Stay strong, Ugo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mardan this morning

                  • Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Cầu Giấy donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

                    • Good luck, Ugo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings!

                      • Sending strength, Ugo. I hope things turn around soon.

                        • Take care. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

                          • praying for you, Ugo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
