Naoki's colon cancer treatment fund
Naoki is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇯🇵 Fukuoka, Japan2,059 views
In November I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Fukuoka Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in February. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a primary school teacher until November, 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 Fukuoka Regional Medical Center 2 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 $3,200 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $860
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $360
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,250
• Transport to Fukuoka Regional Medical Center: $730
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page.
Praying for you, Naoki. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
