Help José through 10 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Barcelona Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

José was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at the Barcelona Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. José is 37, worked as a farmer until July, 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 the Barcelona Oncology Institute 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $4,900 goes: • Transport to the Barcelona Oncology Institute: $430 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,650 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270 • Scans and lab work: $550 If you're reading this, thank you. - Daniela

      Is transport to the Barcelona Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?

      • Daniela F. SandovalOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to the Barcelona Oncology Institute comes first ($430) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.

          Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.

            Sending strength, Daniela. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
