Standing with Rahel: stomach cancer treatment costs

Bahir Dar
Rahel was diagnosed with stomach cancer in February. The oncology team at Bahir Dar Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Rahel is 49, worked as a nurse until February, 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 Bahir Dar 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $800 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $210 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $540 Thanks for being kind about this. - Lemlem

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

    • Lemlem Konjit EshetuOwnerAnswerID verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($210) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
