Help Tuhin through 12 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
Supporting Tuhin through prostate cancer: medication, transport to the Jessore Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇩 7409, Jessore, Khulna, Bangladesh1,471 views
Tuhin was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at the Jessore Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Tuhin is 55, worked as a tailor until June, 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 Jessore 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $750 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Scans and lab work: $140
• Transport to the Jessore Oncology Institute: $105
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $420
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Shefali. Wishing Tuhin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Shefali. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Hang in there, Shefali. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Mombasa this morning
