Standing with Slamet: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Slamet is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Jakarta Selatan
In July I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at the Jakarta Selatan Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 26, I worked as a nurse until July, 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 Jakarta Selatan 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,200 goes: • Transport to the Jakarta Selatan Oncology Institute: $185 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500 • Scans and lab work: $260 • Household costs while unable to work: $255 With deep gratitude, Slamet

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Slamet?

    Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan!
