Carlos's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Mendoza University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Mendoza
In September I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Mendoza University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a construction supervisor until September, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Mendoza University Hospital 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $800 goes: • Transport to Mendoza University Hospital: $310 • Household costs while unable to work: $380 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Carlos

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($303 in total) the plan for transport to Mendoza University Hospital is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
