Standing with Pandu: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Jakarta Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jakarta
Pandu was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Jakarta Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Pandu is 46, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Jakarta 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Household costs while unable to work: $280 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 Thanks for being kind about this. - Gunawan

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

              • Gunawan Agus TanotoOwnerAnswerAddress verified

                Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($1,300) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
