Standing with Rotimi: cervical cancer treatment costs
Supporting Rotimi through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Lagos Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇳🇬 Nigeria2,116 views
Rotimi was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Lagos Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Rotimi is 34, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Lagos Cancer Centre 2 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 $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $990
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Transport to Lagos Cancer Centre: $125
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $315
Every share and every dollar helps.

Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings!
wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mwanza!
Hang in there, Aisha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Rooting for you, Aisha. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Lagos!
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
