Personal message

I received my breast cancer diagnosis in

July 2022 and completed initial chemotherapy

at a state hospital due to the absence of

medical aid insurance. Unfortunately, a private

oncologist's misinformation caused a delay

in vital treatment.

As a Stage 4 patient, I urgently require a

revised treatment plan suggested by a highly

regarded private oncologist involving

Herceptin, Taxol, and Zometa, regular CT

scans, sonars, and blood work, costing

approximately R460 000. (for 2 years worth

of treatment). Unfortunately, the state hospital

does not provide these treatments and so

the cancer is spreading.

Regrettably, we lack the financial means

for these crucial procedures. Facing the

urgency of my situation and transitioning

to the private sector for care, I feel compelled

to seek assistance. Your support during

this critical time would be immensely appreciated.

Herewith the costs set out by the Dr:

1. Taxol (chemo) drip every week -

R2889.61 per week (a total of 13 weekly treatments)

2. Dr consultation and facility fees for the

Taxol - R7100 per week

3. Herceptin drip every 3 weeks -

R9434.14 per treatment (total of 13

treatments every 3 weeks)

4. Zometa drip every 3 weeks -

R747.50 per treatment (total of 13

treatments every 3 weeks)

5. Dr consultation fees and facility fees

for the Herceptin and Zometa -

R2950 per treatment

6. Ct scans twice a year, R22000 each

7. Blood test every month - R1200

8. Ultrasound/sonar every 3rd treatment -

R2600
