Standing with Rasha: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs

Rasha is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Augusta
In June I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at the Augusta Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a farmer until June, 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 the Augusta Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $9,850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500 • Scans and lab work: $670 • Transport to the Augusta Oncology Institute: $630 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,410 Every share and every dollar helps. - Rasha
