Cristina Castaño Appeals for Donations to Fund Jimmy Shaw’s Lisbon Cancer Surgery

Donations target surgery in Portugal outside existing coverage.

Overview

  • Shaw, known for La que se avecina, is facing a recurrence of pancreatic cancer after an earlier remission during a three‑year battle.
  • Castaño shared a photo with Shaw on Instagram and directed followers to a crowdfunding link available in her stories and profile bio.
  • Supporters say a Lisbon specialist is the only doctor willing to operate on Shaw’s specific case.
  • Castaño says the procedure is not covered by private insurance or Spain’s social security, prompting an urgent push for public contributions.
  • According to the fundraising page cited by Spanish media, costs are expected to exceed $100,000 and the surgery is indicated for September 26, pending sufficient funds.
