Standing with Lungile: colon cancer treatment costs

In January I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Soweto University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in March. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 51, I worked as a farmer until January, 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 Soweto University Hospital 3 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 $500 goes: • Transport to Soweto University Hospital: $125 • Household costs while unable to work: $190 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $185 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Lungile
