Standing with Verónica: stomach cancer treatment costs

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

Cali

In July I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Cali Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a bus conductor until July, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Cali Regional Medical Center 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,200 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $540 • Transport to Cali Regional Medical Center: $260 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,400 Thank you so much. - Verónica
