Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Umar afford treatment in Lahore

Umar is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Lahore
Umar was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in April. The oncology team at the Lahore Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Umar is 58, worked as a nurse until April, 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 Lahore Oncology Institute 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 $1,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $890 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Transport to the Lahore Oncology Institute: $75 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Household costs while unable to work: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
