Standing with Iwan: thyroid cancer treatment costs
Supporting Iwan through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Bogor University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇩 Indonesia1,327 views
Iwan was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Bogor University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Iwan is 30, worked as a nurse 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 Bogor University Hospital 3 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 $1,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900
• Scans and lab work: $135
• Transport to Bogor University Hospital: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $320
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Dewi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Iwan?
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Aurangabad
sending strength, Dewi. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Latina so I could bring a meal. Take care
stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mumbai.
Hang in there, Dewi. Wishing Iwan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
you're not alone, Dewi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
