Standing with Dolores: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Bellevue Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 Bellevue, Washington, United States2,933 views
Dolores was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at the Bellevue Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Dolores is 47, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Bellevue Oncology Institute 4 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,300 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,850
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,450
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Ubud but we're thinking of you. God bless
Praying for you, Gabriel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Bellevue.
So sorry you're going through this, Gabriel. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Nagpur.
