Fighting cervical cancer: help Wayne afford treatment in Johannesburg
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Johannesburg Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa2,219 views
Wayne was diagnosed with cervical cancer in November. The oncology team at Johannesburg Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Wayne is 55, worked as a nurse until November, 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 Johannesburg Regional Medical Center 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 $1,850 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $340
• Transport to Johannesburg Regional Medical Center: $100
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,410
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Palesa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Shubra.
wishing you the best, Palesa. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Cebu City this morning.
