Standing with Prince: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Prince is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇭 Takoradi, Western, Ghana866 views
In January I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Takoradi Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in February. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a bank teller until January, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Takoradi Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $600 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $130
• Transport to Takoradi Cancer Centre: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $310
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Prince. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Prince!
Scans and lab work is $130 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Saint Paul donated after I showed her your page.
wishing you peace, Prince. Shared this with my family
You're not alone, Prince. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Takoradi.
sending love, Prince. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Best of luck, Prince. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
rooting for you, Prince. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
