Help Saki through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Shinjuku Cancer Centre; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.
🇯🇵 Japan480 views
Saki was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at Shinjuku Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Saki is 44, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Shinjuku 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 $8,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000
• Scans and lab work: $730
• Transport to Shinjuku Cancer Centre: $320
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,430
Thank you so much.
