Fighting colon cancer: help Luis afford treatment in Santa Fe
Supporting Luis through colon cancer: medication, transport to Santa Fe Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇦🇷 3009, Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Argentina2,350 views
Luis was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Santa Fe Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Luis is 48, worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 Santa Fe Regional Medical Center 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 $2,100 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $180
• Transport to Santa Fe Regional Medical Center: $160
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Household costs while unable to work: $610
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luis.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is the biggest at $180. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you and your family, Andrés. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Düsseldorf.
Hope it all works out, Andrés. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
