Help Milon through 10 rounds of treatment for stomach cancer
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Gazipur Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh2,720 views
Milon was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April. The oncology team at Gazipur Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Milon is 43, worked as a bakery worker until April, 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 Gazipur Cancer Centre 4 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 $650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $390
• Transport to Gazipur Cancer Centre: $75
• Scans and lab work: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

take care, Sharmin. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Milon!
Sending good thoughts, Sharmin. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
shared this with my family. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Gazipur.
Wishing you peace, Sharmin. Get well soon. Thinking of Gazipur
