Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Afshan afford treatment in Abbottabad

Supporting Afshan through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Abbottabad Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Abbottabad
Afshan was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Abbottabad Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Afshan is 47, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Abbottabad 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,200 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $120 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $820 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Transport to Abbottabad Cancer Centre: $65 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Junaid

Updates from Junaid

  1. Small update. $1,111 so far, I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 48% now ($579). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($509 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
