Standing with Jyoti: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Jyoti through colon cancer: medication, transport to Vancouver Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇨🇦 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada4,359 views
Jyoti was diagnosed with colon cancer in June. The oncology team at Vancouver Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Jyoti is 35, worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 Vancouver Cancer Centre 4 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 $8,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,450
• Transport to Vancouver Cancer Centre: $870
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $410
• Household costs while unable to work: $870
