Luis's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Supporting Luis through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Alcalá de Henares Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

In January I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at the Alcalá de Henares Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in March. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 30, I worked as a bakery worker until January, 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 Alcalá de Henares 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $780
• Scans and lab work: $920
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Alcalá de Henares!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Gazipur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Luis. Hope the doctors have good news.
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you
