Fighting colon cancer: help Eduardo afford treatment in Alicante
Eduardo is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇪🇸 03021, Alicante, Valencian Community, Spain504 views
In August I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at the Alicante Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a tailor until August, 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 the Alicante Oncology Institute 2 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 $3,000 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $750
• Transport to the Alicante Oncology Institute: $710
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500
• Scans and lab work: $1,040
Thanks for reading all this.

You're not alone, Eduardo. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Phuket.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Prayagraj so I could bring a meal.
hope you get there. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
