Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Isaac afford treatment in Port Harcourt
4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria2,162 views
Isaac was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in April. The oncology team at the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Isaac is 26, worked as a nurse until April, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Port Harcourt 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $790
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $185
Thanks for being kind about this.
