Savar
In May I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Savar Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 50, I worked as a hairdresser 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 Savar Regional Medical Center 3 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Household costs while unable to work: $290 • Transport to Savar Regional Medical Center: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Wishing Moumita a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Cox's Bazar so I could bring a meal. Love from Coimbatore.

          You're not alone, Moumita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
