Okta's prostate cancer treatment fund

Okta was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Makassar Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Okta is 51, worked as a tailor until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Makassar Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $530 • Scans and lab work: $240 • Transport to Makassar Cancer Centre: $155 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $215 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Gita

  1. Update from Makassar: the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
