Standing with Citlali: thyroid cancer treatment costs
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Alicante Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇪🇸 Alicante, Valencian Community, Spain3,659 views
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Alicante Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a tailor until August, 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 Alicante Regional Medical Center 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 $7,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750
• Scans and lab work: $870
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,020
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Citlali. Get well soon. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Los Angeles.
praying for you, Citlali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Alicante.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Milan.
