Rodrigo's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

Rodrigo is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In June I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Denver Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 41, I worked as a bus conductor 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 Denver Regional Medical Center 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 $2,700 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,150 • Transport to Denver Regional Medical Center: $730 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $820 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rodrigo

    rooting for you, Rodrigo. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best

      Sending strength, Rodrigo. Hope the doctors have good news. After 18 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless!
