Help Héctor through 12 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
Héctor is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇪🇸 Spain3,633 views
Héctor was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October. The oncology team at Valencia University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Héctor is 40, worked as a nurse until October, 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 Valencia University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,050 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530
• Household costs while unable to work: $940
• Scans and lab work: $720
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,860
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Cristian. Your post was clear and honest
Wishing you peace, Cristian. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Valencia.
Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Leicester donated after I showed her your page.
