Help me through 6 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Supporting Antonio through colon cancer: medication, transport to Girona Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇪🇸 Spain2,235 views
In August I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Girona Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 58, I worked as a bakery worker 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 Girona 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Transport to Girona Cancer Centre: $300
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,320
With deep gratitude,
Antonio

hope you get there. After 26 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Antonio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care!
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Nairobi.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Girona.
Keep going, Antonio. Shared this with my family. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Thinking of you, Antonio. Get well soon. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page.
