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

In February I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Dammam Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a nurse until February, 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 Dammam Cancer Centre 4 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 $4,950 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $300
• Transport to Dammam Cancer Centre: $520
• Scans and lab work: $860
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,270
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Hassan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. All the best!
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Houston but we're thinking of you.
hope it all works out, Hassan. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
