Standing with Zoe: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Zoe is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Zoe was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in January. The oncology team at Laredo Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Zoe is 42, worked as a bakery worker until January, 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 Laredo Regional Medical Center 4 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 $8,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,950
• Scans and lab work: $1,950
• Transport to Laredo Regional Medical Center: $780
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $350
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,820
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you, Robert. Get well soon
so sorry you're going through this, Robert. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Phoenix so I could bring a meal.
Rooting for you, Robert. Hope you get there. Love from Riyadh.
Hope things get better soon, Robert. Wishing Zoe a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Stay strong, Robert. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Istanbul.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
sending love, Robert. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Francisco.
