Help Oky through 10 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Bandung Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Oky was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Bandung Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Oky is 37, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Bandung Regional Medical Center 3 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 $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $880
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to Bandung Regional Medical Center: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($183 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Bandung Regional Medical Center. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Bandung.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
