Standing with Aisha: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
Supporting Aisha through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Badagry Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,444 views
Aisha was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at the Badagry Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Aisha is 58, worked as a nurse until September, 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 Badagry Oncology Institute 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $420
• Scans and lab work: $155
• Transport to the Badagry Oncology Institute: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Household costs while unable to work: $310
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength, Paul. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
You're not alone, Paul. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted.
Praying for you, Paul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Badagry
