Fighting colon cancer: help Goro afford treatment in Nagoya
Supporting Goro through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Nagoya Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world2,170 views
Goro was diagnosed with colon cancer in April. The oncology team at the Nagoya Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Goro is 57, worked as a shop owner until April, 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 the Nagoya Oncology Institute 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,700
• Transport to the Nagoya Oncology Institute: $570
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nagoya
Thank you. If you're in Nagoya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Praying for you, Yuna. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news
Thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thanks for sharing this, Yuna. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you. Love from Addis Ababa.
stay strong, Yuna. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Wishing Goro a smooth procedure and a full recovery!
