Fighting thyroid cancer: help Inés afford treatment in Madrid
Supporting Inés through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Madrid Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain5,030 views
Inés was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May. The oncology team at Madrid Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Inés is 36, worked as a hairdresser until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Madrid Cancer Centre 4 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,000 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,700
• Scans and lab work: $490
• Transport to Madrid Cancer Centre: $270
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hang in there, Jorge. Hope you get there. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Sacramento this morning. Love from Sacramento
Wishing you peace, Jorge. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
