Standing with Rizky: prostate cancer treatment costs

Rizky is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Rizky was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at the Malang Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Rizky is 35, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 the Malang Oncology Institute 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Scans and lab work: $240 • Transport to the Malang Oncology Institute: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $265 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Dimas

Updates from Dimas

  1. Thank you all. We're at 46% now ($880). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. - Dimas

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($715 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Malang: the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Best of luck, Dimas. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Malang
