Ayesha's stomach cancer treatment fund

In May I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Islamabad University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 38, I worked as a tailor until May, 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 Islamabad University Hospital 4 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 $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $710 • Household costs while unable to work: $230 • Scans and lab work: $160 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Ayesha
