Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Fitria afford treatment in Jakarta Barat
Fitria is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world650 views
In July I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a nurse until July, 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 Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center 2 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 $550 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Transport to Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center: $170
• Scans and lab work: $165
• Household costs while unable to work: $170
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Fitria?
Thank you. If you're in Jakarta Barat I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Hope things get better soon, Fitria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hang in there, Fitria. Shared this with my family.
