Help me through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Tehuacán Cancer Centre; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Tehuacán
In August I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Tehuacán Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 27, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Tehuacán 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 $2,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Scans and lab work: $320 • Transport to Tehuacán Cancer Centre: $390 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240 • Household costs while unable to work: $450 With deep gratitude, Soledad

Updates from Soledad

  1. Quick update: $517 raised so far (20%). I made the first payment toward scans and lab work. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($192). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($567 in total) the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Thinking of you and your family, Soledad. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

        Thank you. If you're in Tehuacán I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
