Standing with Mega: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Mega is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world2,174 views
Mega was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in July. The oncology team at Denpasar Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Mega is 40, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Denpasar Regional Medical Center 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $105
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Winda
Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($373). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Biratnagar.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Denpasar!
Thank you. If you're in Denpasar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts, Winda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Nice
you're not alone, Winda. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Jakarta.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bergamo this morning. Thinking of Denpasar.
