Standing with Yusuf: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
Yusuf is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇩 Indonesia972 views
Yusuf was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Bandung Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Yusuf is 43, 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 Bandung Regional Medical Center 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to Bandung Regional Medical Center: $140
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
• Household costs while unable to work: $200
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone. Wishing Yusuf a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. After 11 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
