Fighting thyroid cancer: help Rubina afford treatment in Multan
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Multan Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world419 views
Rubina was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February. The oncology team at Multan Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Rubina is 46, worked as a construction supervisor until February, 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 Multan 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 $1,300 goes:
• Transport to Multan Cancer Centre: $130
• Household costs while unable to work: $200
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870
With deep gratitude,
Faisal

Wishing you peace, Faisal. Shared it with a few friends
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 21 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
So sorry you're going through this, Faisal. Hope you get there. All the best.
Is transport to Multan Cancer Centre the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Multan Cancer Centre comes first ($130) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
you're not alone, Faisal. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Glasgow!
Sending strength, Faisal. Get well soon.
so sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Best of luck, Faisal. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Multan.
Hope things get better soon, Faisal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength, Faisal. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
