Standing with Óscar: prostate cancer treatment costs
Óscar is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇲🇽 Tehuacán, Puebla, Mexico696 views
Óscar was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Tehuacán Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Óscar is 28, worked as a farmer until April, 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 Tehuacán Regional Medical Center 2 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 $3,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,650
• Scans and lab work: $390
• Transport to Tehuacán Regional Medical Center: $360
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
• Household costs while unable to work: $310
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope July is when things finally get easier. All the best.
