Andrés's thyroid cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Laredo Oncology Institute; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇺🇸 United States5,219 views
Andrés was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February. The oncology team at the Laredo Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Andrés is 47, worked as a shop owner until February, 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 the Laredo Oncology Institute 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 $8,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,650
• Scans and lab work: $1,100
• Transport to the Laredo Oncology Institute: $920
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $610
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,270
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
