Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Jasmine afford treatment in Quezon City
12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Quezon City Oncology Institute; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines910 views
Jasmine was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in May. The oncology team at the Quezon City Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Jasmine is 51, worked as a tailor until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Quezon City 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $330
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,545
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

wishing you peace, Joshua. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Quezon City
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Quezon City.
Best of luck. Wishing Jasmine a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care!
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Surabaya but we're thinking of you
