Fighting colon cancer: help Shun afford treatment in Yokohama
Supporting Shun through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Yokohama Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇯🇵 Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan5,456 views
Shun was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Yokohama Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Shun is 27, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Yokohama Oncology Institute 4 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 $7,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,100
• Scans and lab work: $750
• Transport to the Yokohama Oncology Institute: $760
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $480
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,510
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Jessore.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
this could happen to any of us. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Medan this morning
You're not alone, Misaki. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Da Nang but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Yokohama
hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Yokohama.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shun
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $4,100, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 36 people at work. Blessings.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Venice!
best of luck, Misaki. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Yokohama.
Sending love, Misaki. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
keep going, Misaki. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Aurangabad.
So sorry you're going through this, Misaki. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
