Héctor's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Héctor is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Málaga
In August I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at the Málaga Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 52, I worked as a taxi driver 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 Málaga Oncology Institute 3 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 $6,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,700 • Scans and lab work: $910 • Transport to the Málaga Oncology Institute: $410 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370 • Household costs while unable to work: $860 Thank you so much. - Héctor
