Ilham's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Ilham is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Ilham was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February. The oncology team at Depok Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Ilham is 30, worked as a bank teller until February, 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 Depok Cancer Centre 2 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 $700 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $380
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
• Scans and lab work: $250
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ilham.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. household costs while unable to work is the biggest at $380. Good question.
Take care. This could happen to any of us
You're not alone, Rudi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Any update on how things are going in Depok?
Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Depok.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Thinking of Depok.
Wishing you the best, Rudi. Hope the doctors have good news.
