Standing with Rubén: cervical cancer treatment costs

Rubén is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Buenos Aires
Rubén was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Buenos Aires Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Rubén is 42, worked as a bakery worker until June, 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 Buenos Aires Regional Medical Center 3 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 $1,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $390 • Transport to Buenos Aires Regional Medical Center: $260 If you're reading this, thank you. - Gabriela

            Sending love, Gabriela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
