Jamila's cervical cancer treatment fund
Supporting Jamila through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Limoges Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇫🇷 Limoges, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France5,668 views
In July I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Limoges Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 42, I worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Limoges Cancer Centre 4 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250
• Scans and lab work: $1,200
• Transport to Limoges Cancer Centre: $370
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $770
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,760
Glad we found this place.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Limoges.
Thank you. If you're in Limoges I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope it all works out, Jamila. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Sending strength, Jamila. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Embakasi
Take care. Get well soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Limoges.
