Abuja
Juliet was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in January. The oncology team at the Abuja Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Juliet is 58, worked as a farmer until January, 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 Abuja Oncology Institute 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,200 goes: โ€ข Transport to the Abuja Oncology Institute: $120 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $230 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $795 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ibrahim

      Is transport to the Abuja Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?

      • Ibrahim Garba ZakariOwnerAnswer

        Transport to the Abuja Oncology Institute is $120 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
