Fighting stomach cancer: help Nadeem afford treatment in Lahore
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Lahore University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan1,040 views
Nadeem was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Lahore University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Nadeem is 53, worked as a tailor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Lahore University Hospital 4 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50
• Scans and lab work: $85
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $790
• Transport to Lahore University Hospital: $75
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nadeem
Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Sending strength, Junaid. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Good luck, Junaid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too
