Standing with Gabriel: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Gabriel through colon cancer: medication, transport to Madrid Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the worldPosted Dec 27, 20253,364 views
Gabriel was diagnosed with colon cancer in November. The oncology team at Madrid Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Gabriel is 42, worked as a nurse until November, 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 Madrid 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $870
• Scans and lab work: $890
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love. Get well soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gabriel.
Sure. The biggest one is household costs while unable to work, $870. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Stay strong, Armando. Your post was clear and honest!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Fukuoka.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Madrid!
Thank you. If you're in Madrid I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope things get better soon, Armando. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
how is Gabriel doing now?
Wishing Gabriel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Madrid
Sending good thoughts, Armando. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Madrid.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Armando. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Hamilton.
You're not alone, Armando. Hope you get there. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Dwarka.
