Vanessa's stomach cancer treatment fund
Supporting Vanessa through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Vitória da Conquista University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world2,290 views
Vanessa was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Vitória da Conquista University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Vanessa is 39, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Vitória da Conquista 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 $3,700 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150
• Household costs while unable to work: $530
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,500
• Scans and lab work: $520
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 30 people at work. God bless
your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Love from Belo Horizonte
wishing you the best, Pedro. Hope the doctors have good news.
