Standing with Claudia: stomach cancer treatment costs
Supporting Claudia through stomach cancer: medication, transport to the Ciudad de México Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,207 views
Claudia was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June. The oncology team at the Ciudad de México Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Claudia is 47, worked as a primary school teacher until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Ciudad de México 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,930
Glad we found this place.
