Ahmad's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Ahmad through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Surakarta Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇩 Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia1,150 views
Ahmad was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Surakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Ahmad is 44, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Surakarta 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $400 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Scans and lab work: $145
• Transport to Surakarta Regional Medical Center: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ahmad.
sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Surakarta
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Tokyo donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Surakarta.
gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Kolkata.
praying for you, Bambang. Hope this works out for you.
so sorry you're going through this, Bambang. I hope things turn around soon
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Surakarta.
thanks for sharing this, Bambang. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours
You're not alone. Wishing Ahmad a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Bambang. Wishing Ahmad a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Surakarta.
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Cầu Giấy.
