Rin's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Rin through prostate cancer: medication, transport to the Osaka Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇯🇵 Osaka, Osaka, Japan1,753 views
Rin was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at the Osaka Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Rin is 51, worked as a shop owner until June, 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 the Osaka 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $5,550 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450
Glad we found this place.

so sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together.
Sending good thoughts, Chihiro. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page.
