Standing with Grace: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Supporting Grace through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Benin City Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇳🇬 Nigeria2,225 views
Grace was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in September. The oncology team at the Benin City Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Grace is 53, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Benin City Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Nkechi. Wishing Grace a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Benin City.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
