Chattogram
In July I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Chattogram Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 31, I worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Chattogram Regional Medical Center 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 $1,250 goes: • Transport to Chattogram Regional Medical Center: $60 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $910 • Scans and lab work: $200 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Sending strength, Joya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Chattogram.
