Fighting multiple myeloma: help Ishrat afford treatment in Narayanganj
Ishrat is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh1,361 views
Ishrat was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Narayanganj Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Ishrat is 28, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Narayanganj Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Transport to Narayanganj Cancer Centre: $130
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Household costs while unable to work: $305
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you, Faruk. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Toronto
Rooting for you, Faruk. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Narayanganj
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Bahir Dar.
Sending love, Faruk. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Faruk. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Vancouver this morning.
Thanks for sharing this, Faruk. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Gdańsk
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Curitiba!
good luck, Faruk. Get well soon.
