Asad's prostate cancer treatment fund
Asad is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan1,051 views
In August I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Faisalabad Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a farmer until August, 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 Faisalabad Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to Faisalabad Regional Medical Center: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $125
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending good thoughts, Asad. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

Good luck, Asad. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Asad. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Karachi
Wishing you the best, Asad. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Good luck, Asad. This could happen to any of us. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Asad. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Soweto
So sorry you're going through this, Asad. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Antalya so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you and your family, Asad. Hope you get there.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Kisumu.
Hang in there, Asad. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
