Janet's stomach cancer treatment fund

Supporting Janet through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Cape Coast Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Cape Coast
In August I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Cape Coast Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 58, I worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Cape Coast Regional Medical Center 5 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 $950 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $350 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $490 • Scans and lab work: $110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Janet

    Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care!

      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. All the best
