Fighting thyroid cancer: help Idowu afford treatment in Ikeja

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Ikeja Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Ikeja
Idowu was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in April. The oncology team at Ikeja Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Idowu is 30, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Ikeja Cancer Centre 4 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 $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Scans and lab work: $85 • Transport to Ikeja Cancer Centre: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $260 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
