Sipho F's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
Supporting Sipho F through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Paarl University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇿🇦 Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa1,212 views
Sipho F was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in June. The oncology team at Paarl University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Sipho F is 34, worked as a hairdresser 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 Paarl University Hospital 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 $3,000 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $630
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $160
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,210
Thank you so much.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Sipho F?
This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Rochester.
rooting for you, Lerato. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thinking of you and your family, Lerato. Wishing Sipho F a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Lerato. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Islamabad
Thinking of you, Lerato. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Take care, Lerato. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
Take care, Lerato. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
