Valentina's cervical cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Swansea University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇧 Wales, United Kingdom4,757 views
Valentina was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Swansea University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Valentina is 49, worked as a taxi driver 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 Swansea University Hospital 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,300 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $850
• Scans and lab work: $1,200
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250
With deep gratitude,
Keith

What's already covered and what's the $9,300 for?
Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is $850 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Good luck, Keith. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Tarkwa.
