Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Iqra afford treatment in Hyderabad
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Hyderabad Cancer Centre; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

In November I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Hyderabad Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in February. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a bank teller until November, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Hyderabad Cancer Centre 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $450 goes:
• Transport to Hyderabad Cancer Centre: $65
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $40
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
• Scans and lab work: $135
If you're reading this, thank you.
