Standing with Iwan: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Iwan was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in August. The oncology team at Jakarta Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Iwan is 31, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Jakarta 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,600 goes: • Transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center: $100 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Scans and lab work: $290 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Citra

  • Is transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?

    • Transport to Jakarta Regional Medical Center is $100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

  • Sending love. Hope you get there. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

    • Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

      • good luck, Citra. I hope things turn around soon.

        • rooting for you, Citra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together
