Fighting prostate cancer: help Dayo afford treatment in Lagos
Dayo is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria540 views
In January I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Lagos Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a hairdresser until January, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Lagos Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $350 goes:
• Transport to Lagos Regional Medical Center: $65
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Scans and lab work: $170
Thank you so much.
