Edward's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Supporting Edward through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Tamale University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Tamale
Edward was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in June. The oncology team at Tamale University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Edward is 49, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 Tamale University Hospital 5 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 $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670 • Scans and lab work: $160 • Transport to Tamale University Hospital: $130 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $130 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Hannah
