Mariana's stomach cancer treatment fund

4 rounds of treatment are planned at A Coruña Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

A Coruña
In July I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at A Coruña Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 58, I worked as a nurse until July, 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 A Coruña Cancer Centre 2 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 $4,800 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $185 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,250 • Scans and lab work: $870 • Transport to A Coruña Cancer Centre: $495 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
