In August I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Hialeah Cancer Centre has planned 8 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 47, I worked as a bank teller 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 Hialeah Cancer Centre 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $9,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500 • Scans and lab work: $570 • Transport to Hialeah Cancer Centre: $1,080 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Carlos

  • Stay strong, Carlos. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Bandung so I could bring a meal.

    • Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

        Praying for you, Carlos. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.

        • Hope things get better soon, Carlos. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
