Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Shanice afford treatment in Cape Town

Shanice is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Cape Town
Shanice was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in March. The oncology team at Cape Town Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Shanice is 56, worked as a hairdresser until March, 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 Cape Town 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $990 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Cape Town Regional Medical Center: $180 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $180 • Household costs while unable to work: $570 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Clinton
