Nuria's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Supporting Nuria through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Buenos Aires
In June I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 37, I worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Buenos Aires Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,000 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to the Buenos Aires Oncology Institute: $230 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Household costs while unable to work: $445 Thank you for reading my story. - Nuria
