Patience's cervical cancer treatment fund
Supporting Patience through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Ho University Hospital, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇬🇭 Ho, Volta, Ghana1,132 views
In June I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Ho University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, I worked as a bank teller until June, 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 Ho University Hospital 3 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 $1,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870
• Scans and lab work: $160
• Transport to Ho University Hospital: $140
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $305
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Patience
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $870 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Ho.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Volta. I'll ask around and let you know
hope things get better soon. Wishing Patience a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Ho.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Fortaleza but we're thinking of you.
Sending love, Patience. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
You're not alone, Patience. Shared this with my family. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Good luck, Patience. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
