Standing with Idowu: cervical cancer treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Abuja Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇬 Abuja FCT, Nigeria762 views
Idowu was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Abuja Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Idowu is 52, 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 Abuja Regional Medical Center 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 $1,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Transport to Abuja Regional Medical Center: $55
• Scans and lab work: $145
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong, Amaka. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending strength, Amaka. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
