Help me through 10 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Narayanganj University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

In May I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Narayanganj University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 49, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Narayanganj University Hospital 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 $1,150 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
• Transport to Narayanganj University Hospital: $65
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760
• Scans and lab work: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Lamia. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Lamia?
sending good thoughts, Lamia. Hope you get there. Take care
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Sukkur.
thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Frankfurt but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Narayanganj
