Aoi's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Tokyo Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Aoi was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Tokyo Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Aoi is 34, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Tokyo Cancer Centre 2 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 $7,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500
• Transport to Tokyo Cancer Centre: $480
• Scans and lab work: $1,300
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aoi.
Take care, Masaru. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Masaru. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Buenos Aires so I could bring a meal. All the best
Thinking of you, Masaru. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
