Standing with Eduardo: prostate cancer treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Tarragona Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In February I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Tarragona Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 30, I worked as a bakery worker until February, 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 Tarragona 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 $2,700 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,300
• Scans and lab work: $690
• Transport to Tarragona Regional Medical Center: $710
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Aurangabad
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tarragona.
Thank you. If you're in Tarragona I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Wishing Eduardo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Hang in there, Eduardo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Santa Rosa donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Tarragona.
thanks for sharing this, Eduardo. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Eduardo. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 8 people at work. Blessings
