Anika's cervical cancer treatment fund

Anika is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Anika was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Narayanganj University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Anika is 44, worked as a shop owner until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Narayanganj University Hospital 3 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,050 goes: • Scans and lab work: $115 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $600 • Household costs while unable to work: $260 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mahin

    Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

    • So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

      • thinking of you and your family. Wishing Anika a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          Stay strong, Mahin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Edinburgh
