Haruto was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in November. The oncology team at Tokyo Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Haruto is 50, worked as a nurse until November, 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 Tokyo 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $5,900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,450 • Scans and lab work: $520 • Transport to Tokyo Cancer Centre: $730 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260 • Household costs while unable to work: $940 Thank you for reading my story. - Noriko

Updates from Noriko

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,057 in total) I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
