Standing with Slamet: colon cancer treatment costs

Slamet was diagnosed with colon cancer in September. The oncology team at Jakarta Selatan University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Slamet is 45, worked as a bus conductor until September, 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 Jakarta Selatan University Hospital 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 $1,500 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Scans and lab work: $155 • Household costs while unable to work: $220 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,005 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Utami
