Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Rahim afford treatment in Bogra
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Bogra Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In August I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Bogra Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 31, I worked as a farmer until August, 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 Bogra Regional Medical Center 3 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $820
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to Bogra Regional Medical Center: $115
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
• Household costs while unable to work: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 23 people at work. Greetings from Contagem.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Arlington.
thinking of you and your family, Rahim. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Perth so I could bring a meal
I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Bogra.
So sorry you're going through this, Rahim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Bogra.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Liverpool.
