Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Sohel afford treatment in Cox's Bazar
Supporting Sohel through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to Cox's Bazar Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇩 4707, Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Bangladesh1,288 views
Sohel was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Cox's Bazar Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Sohel is 55, worked as a tailor until August, 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 Cox's Bazar Regional Medical Center 2 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $450
• Household costs while unable to work: $120
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Transport to Cox's Bazar Regional Medical Center: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($431 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $75 so far, I made the first payment toward transport to Cox's Bazar Regional Medical Center.

So sorry you're going through this, Parvin. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Riverside.
You're not alone, Parvin. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thanks for sharing this, Parvin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Naples
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Accra.
