Standing with Aisha: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
Aisha is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇬 Nigeria806 views
Aisha was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Lagos University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Aisha is 48, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Lagos University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $980
• Transport to Lagos University Hospital: $150
• Scans and lab work: $170
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Abubakar
Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($287). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward transport to Lagos University Hospital.

You're not alone, Abubakar. Wishing Aisha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Praying for you. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Abubakar. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 21 people at work.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
