Standing with Marta: thyroid cancer treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at the San Miguel de Tucumán Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Marta was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the San Miguel de Tucumán Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Marta is 27, 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 her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the San Miguel de Tucumán Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $875
With deep gratitude,
Tomás
