Standing with Christo: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Christo is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Christo was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in December. The oncology team at Richards Bay Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Christo is 46, worked as a shop owner until December, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Richards Bay Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $750 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $160 • Household costs while unable to work: $360 • Transport to Richards Bay Cancer Centre: $230 I hope life is good to you.
