I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request for your assistance for my mother whose been diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer. She is advised to have 6 sessions of chemo and 18 sessions of trastuzumab. She is already done with 2 sessions of chemo and 1 trastuzumab. Her last session was September 22, 2023. 

The chemo meds prescribed to her are Carboplatin (300mg) and Docetaxel (80mg) which costs 5,400 (for 2 vials of 150mg) and 1,700, respectively. And her trastuzumab costs 25,000 per vial. 

Hope and pray that you could help us. 

Thank you so much and God bless.
