Standing with Blessing: kidney cancer treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria1,247 views
In November I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 52, I worked as a bus conductor until November, 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 the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute 2 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Household costs while unable to work: $135
• Transport to the Port Harcourt Oncology Institute: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.
