Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Cristina afford treatment in Móstoles

Cristina is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Móstoles
In July I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Móstoles University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 50, I worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Móstoles University Hospital 5 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $6,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,200 • Scans and lab work: $720 • Transport to Móstoles University Hospital: $270 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $610 • Household costs while unable to work: $550 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Cristina
