Standing with Precious: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Precious through colon cancer: medication, transport to East London Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇿🇦 East London, Eastern Cape, South Africa866 views
Precious was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at East London Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Precious is 49, worked as a bakery worker 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 East London Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $900 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $230
• Transport to East London Regional Medical Center: $270
• Household costs while unable to work: $400
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Precious
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($230) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page. Love from Lagos.
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Wishing Precious a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Wishing you the best, Priya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
