Standing with Eugene: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Eugene is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Eugene was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at San Diego Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Eugene is 37, worked as a shop owner until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to San Diego Regional Medical Center 5 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $12,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,750
• Transport to San Diego Regional Medical Center: $1,200
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,250
Thanks for being kind about this.

keep going, Nova. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong, Nova. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
Best of luck. 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.
