Standing with Ernestina: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Supporting Ernestina through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to the Tema Oncology Institute, and living costs while She cannot work.

Tema
Ernestina was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at the Tema Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Ernestina is 52, worked as a nurse 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 the Tema 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 $2,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Transport to the Tema Oncology Institute: $185 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140 • Household costs while unable to work: $295 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Victoria
