Standing with Jocelyn: cervical cancer treatment costs
Supporting Jocelyn through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Quezon City University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,956 views
In August I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Quezon City University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a bus conductor 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 Quezon City University Hospital 5 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 $950 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $740
With deep gratitude,
Jocelyn
