Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Yewande afford treatment in Badagry
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Badagry Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,743 views
Yewande was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in May. The oncology team at Badagry Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Yewande is 29, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Badagry Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $560
• Scans and lab work: $115
• Transport to Badagry Cancer Centre: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $215
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Jide
Good news. Because of your gifts ($580 in total) the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending strength, Jide. Wishing Yewande a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Kasarani but we're thinking of you
Stay strong, Jide. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Badagry
