Standing with Musyoka: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Supporting Musyoka through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Kampala Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇬 Uganda1,974 views
Musyoka was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Kampala Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Musyoka is 44, worked as a tailor until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Kampala Cancer Centre 3 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $910
• Scans and lab work: $195
• Transport to Kampala Cancer Centre: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $195
I hope life is good to you.

Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Madina.
Thinking of you, Janet. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Heliopolis!
Praying for you, Janet. Hope this works out for you. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best
