Farhana's cervical cancer treatment fund

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

Farhana was diagnosed with cervical cancer in June. The oncology team at Gazipur Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Farhana is 39, worked as a nurse until June, 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 Gazipur Cancer Centre 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 $700 goes: • Transport to Gazipur Cancer Centre: $50 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $605 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  1. Small update. $175 so far, the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 14% funded and the plan for transport to Gazipur Cancer Centre is now scheduled.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($55). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Farhana!

      It's all in the list in the story. transport to Gazipur Cancer Centre is the big one at $50, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
