Help me through 8 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer

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

Rosario
In April I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at the Rosario Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 55, I worked as a bakery worker until April, 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 Rosario Oncology Institute 5 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 $850 goes: • Scans and lab work: $280 • Transport to the Rosario Oncology Institute: $180 • Household costs while unable to work: $390 With deep gratitude, Cristian

        Sending love, Cristian. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 22 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Rosario.
