My mom is Battling Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Donation protected
I’m reluctant to ask this favor since I don’t like asking, and especially in such times because I'm well aware everyone is going through their own struggle.
Unfortunately, my mother was recently diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, the most aggressive kind. In light of such news, and due to financial difficulties I have no other choice but to ask for your help. The doctors believe the sooner we start the treatment the better the chances at a full recovery.
My mom/best friend, is a single parent and the backbone to our family. She's always been this hardworking independent woman and it kills me to see her not only deal with the stress of such diagnosis but also struggle to make ends meet.
According to the oncologist, mom has to go through 8 sessions of chemotherapy prior to surgery (mastectomy). Each chemo session is done in an interval of 21 days and requires a hospital stay of 1 day and a half. Most medications required for the chemotherapy and additional treatments are not found in Haiti and thus have to be shipped. The protocol post surgery will be decided depending on the lab results and how well she responds to chemotherapy. Additionally, radiotherapy, which is not done in Haiti, will be required at the end to ensure we truly get rid of the cancer.
To be completely transparent, here are the details for the different expenses:
For the total of 8 chemotherapy sessions the cost goes up to 6000 USD
Surgery will approximately be 5000 USD
and hospital stay for all 8 chemotherapy sessions is approximately 4000USD.
N.B: Radiotherapy, additional medications and tests costs are not listed as we cannot predict them yet.
This is a very difficult time for us, and we would really appreciate your support; however you can help is welcomed, whether it's with prayers, donations, or sharing.
Thank you ❤️
