Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Waqas afford treatment in Faisalabad

Supporting Waqas through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Faisalabad Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.

Waqas was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at the Faisalabad Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Waqas is 43, worked as a bus conductor 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 the Faisalabad Oncology Institute 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 $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $165 • Household costs while unable to work: $235 I hope life is good to you. - Anum

            Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Worcester.
