Fighting prostate cancer: help Budi afford treatment in Bandung
Supporting Budi through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Bandung Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇩 Indonesia921 views
Budi was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Bandung Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Budi is 30, worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 Bandung Regional Medical Center 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 $650 goes:
• Transport to Bandung Regional Medical Center: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $200
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Scans and lab work: $270

it takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Osaka but we're thinking of you.
Is transport to Bandung Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Sure. The biggest one is transport to Bandung Regional Medical Center, $95. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this, Yusuf. Hope this works out for you.
praying for you, Yusuf. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Yusuf. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. All the best.
stay strong, Yusuf. Shared this with my family. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
