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

Iqra is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Abbottabad
Iqra was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Abbottabad Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Iqra is 27, 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 her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Abbottabad Regional Medical Center 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $280 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Transport to Abbottabad Regional Medical Center: $65 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $625 Thank you so much. - Javeria
