Help Chukwuemeka through 12 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer

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

Chukwuemeka was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in December. The oncology team at the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Chukwuemeka is 57, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until December, 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 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $780 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Transport to the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $200 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Favour
