Kiprop's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
Kiprop is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇹🇿 Tanzania1,185 views
Kiprop was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at the Zanzibar City Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Kiprop is 40, worked as a bank teller until August, 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 the Zanzibar City Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $500
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to the Zanzibar City Oncology Institute: $120
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Household costs while unable to work: $140

take care, Muthoni. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kiprop
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Zanzibar City.
Sending strength, Muthoni. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Sending strength, Muthoni. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Utrecht but we're thinking of you.
hope it all works out, Muthoni. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
Thinking of you, Muthoni. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 26 people at work.
Wishing you peace, Muthoni. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted.
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Denpasar!
