Indah's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Surabaya Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In May I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at the Surabaya Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a nurse until May, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Surabaya Oncology Institute 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to the Surabaya Oncology Institute: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $200 With deep gratitude, Indah
