Help Farhan through 12 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma
Farhan is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇵🇰 Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan2,231 views
Farhan was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at the Abbottabad Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Farhan is 24, worked as a taxi driver until May, 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 the Abbottabad Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $120
• Transport to the Abbottabad Oncology Institute: $60
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $275
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Farhan.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($1,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Wishing Farhan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Abbottabad.
how is Farhan doing now?
Keep going, Nimra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from London.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Quezon City
Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Sending strength, Nimra. Hope the doctors have good news. After 27 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
thanks for sharing this, Nimra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Sending good thoughts, Nimra. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

Wishing you the best, Nimra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hang in there, Nimra. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
