Usman's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
Usman is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇬 Kano, Nigeria190 views
In July I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Wudil Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, 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 Wudil Cancer Centre 2 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760
• Scans and lab work: $120
• Transport to Wudil Cancer Centre: $115
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Household costs while unable to work: $255
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you, Usman. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope things get better soon, Usman. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
