Standing with Paloma: cervical cancer treatment costs
Paloma is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain598 views
Paloma was diagnosed with cervical cancer in May. The oncology team at Madrid Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Paloma is 48, worked as a bus conductor until May, 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 Madrid 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,200
• Transport to Madrid Regional Medical Center: $400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $290
• Scans and lab work: $610
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
