Bandung
In October I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at the Bandung Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 51, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until October, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Bandung Oncology Institute 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $300 goes: • Scans and lab work: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Transport to the Bandung Oncology Institute: $145 Every share and every dollar helps. - Vino

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vino!

      • Vino Yoga PaneOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. scans and lab work comes first ($90) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

    • Stanislav Makarov

      Take care, Vino. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

      • Silas G. Cunningham

        Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

        • Adriana C. Maldonado

          Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

          • Tanya Hylton

            You're not alone, Vino. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.

                Hope it all works out, Vino. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 10 people at work. Greetings from Portland.
