Miguel's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Alcalá de Henares Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Alcalá de Henares
Miguel was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at the Alcalá de Henares Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Miguel is 29, worked as a tailor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Alcalá de Henares Oncology Institute 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $6,150 goes: • Transport to the Alcalá de Henares Oncology Institute: $590 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $320 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,240 With deep gratitude, Luis

    • Lester S. FranciscoQuestion

      is transport to the Alcalá de Henares Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?

      • Luis J. PachecoOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is transport to the Alcalá de Henares Oncology Institute, $590. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.

      Sending strength, Luis. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mandaue

      • Eliane Isabela Carvalho

        Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

          Best of luck, Luis. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Rajshahi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
