Standing with Jericho: prostate cancer treatment costs
Supporting Jericho through prostate cancer: medication, transport to the Calamba Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇵🇭 Philippines949 views
In August I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at the Calamba Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a tailor until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Calamba Oncology Institute 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to the Calamba Oncology Institute: $200
• Household costs while unable to work: $240
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $480
Thank you so much.

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thinking of you, Jericho. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
Wishing you the best, Jericho. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Wishing you peace, Jericho. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Guarulhos.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Tucson so I could bring a meal. Love from Nice.
