Victor's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

Victor is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Victor was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Manila Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Victor is 30, worked as a bakery worker until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Manila Cancer Centre 2 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $790 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Transport to Manila Cancer Centre: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $145 • Household costs while unable to work: $305 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Samuel
