Portia's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

In August I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Tema Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 33, I worked as a nurse 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 Tema Regional Medical Center 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 $1,600 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $175 • Scans and lab work: $260 • Transport to Tema Regional Medical Center: $130 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,035 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
