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

Zainab is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Faisalabad
Zainab was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in January. The oncology team at Faisalabad University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Zainab is 49, worked as a construction supervisor until January, 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 Faisalabad University Hospital 3 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $700 • Scans and lab work: $125 • Transport to Faisalabad University Hospital: $55 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Household costs while unable to work: $120 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Mehwish

    Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Take care.

          You're not alone, Mehwish. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Timișoara this morning.
