Faruk's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Faruk through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Tiruchirappalli Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India1,163 views
Faruk was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Tiruchirappalli Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Faruk is 47, worked as a nurse 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 Tiruchirappalli Cancer Centre 4 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 $1,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $580
• Scans and lab work: $250
• Transport to Tiruchirappalli Cancer Centre: $175
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Household costs while unable to work: $150
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mérida.
