Standing with Nanami: colon cancer treatment costs

Nanami is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Nanami was diagnosed with colon cancer in March. The oncology team at Fukuoka Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Nanami is 36, worked as a bakery worker until March, 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 Fukuoka Cancer Centre 2 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 $6,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,450 • Transport to Fukuoka Cancer Centre: $850 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $250 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nanami.

                Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($3,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
