Help my Dad fight Lung Cancer.. Please!

in #lungcancer4 years ago (edited)

Despite everything that happened in year 2020, i still want to greet you all a Happy New Year! Glad we made it to 2021.

I know 2020 was a very tough year for everyone, my family experienced hardships in 2020 as well.
My 2 siblings lost their jobs which is acceptable considering what happened to a lot of food establishments.

My dad retired from his work of more than 20 years because he wants to settle in the province. But Covid-19 happened. Plans were cancelled due to travel restrictions.
Months passed so quickly, may dad was already experiencing knee pain, we thought it was arthritis.
We were wrong, after so many tests, months of waiting because of limited capacity to hospital and diagnostics centers, swab tests and biopsy.... it was lung cancer with bone metastasis. We got the results in September 2020.

Despite limited funds, we pushed with his chemotherapy. 6 sessions.
Chemotherapy in the Philippines is not free, in fact it is expensive. Despite having Government mandated Philhealth, chemo drugs are not covered, only admission and doctors fee.

The most expensive drug on my dads chemotherapy is PEMETREXED and we need 2 vials every 21 days, this alone costs Php38,000 (USD 791.16).
Aside from that we also need CARBOPLATIN, PEGFILGASTRIM, ONDANSETRON and ZOLEDRONIC ACID.

We don't earn that amount in a month. Our savings are drained already.
My dad still needs 2 sessions.

Please help me raise funds by supporting this post. Thank you
