Standing with Muthoni: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Machakos Regional Medical Center; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Machakos
Muthoni was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Machakos Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Muthoni is 27, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Machakos 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 $1,250 goes: • Scans and lab work: $160 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 Thanks for being kind about this. - Mussa

      Thinking of you, Mussa. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
