Chattogram
In October I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Chattogram Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. 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 cleaner at a hospital until October, 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 $550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $400 • Transport to Chattogram Regional Medical Center: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Rima

  • Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Springfield.

    • Stay strong, Rima. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
