Fighting kidney cancer: help Rubina afford treatment in Sukkur
Supporting Rubina through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Sukkur University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,622 views
In April I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Sukkur University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 52, I worked as a bank teller until April, 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 Sukkur 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 $1,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $540
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Transport to Sukkur University Hospital: $135
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Rubina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. All the best.
