Asif's prostate cancer treatment fund

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

Asif was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at the Agra Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Asif is 36, worked as a tailor 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 the Agra Oncology Institute 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 $1,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $450 • Scans and lab work: $125 • Transport to the Agra Oncology Institute: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $215 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • hope it all works out, Mim. Your post was clear and honest.

    • Good luck, Mim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.

      • Hope it all works out, Mim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
