Wagner's cervical cancer treatment fund

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Fortaleza Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Fortaleza
Wagner was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Fortaleza Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Wagner is 36, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 Fortaleza Cancer Centre 3 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 $3,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,450 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150 • Transport to Fortaleza Cancer Centre: $310 • Household costs while unable to work: $540 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Henrique

    Good luck. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Brandon donated after I showed her your page.

    • Ana Carolina Gonçalves

      look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Maurício Luiz DantasQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wagner.

        • Henrique Marcos SoaresOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $2,450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.

        You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours

          Best of luck, Henrique. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

            Wishing Wagner a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Fortaleza.
