4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Bogra Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Bogra
Milon was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at the Bogra Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Milon is 56, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Bogra Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $620 • Scans and lab work: $85 • Transport to the Bogra Oncology Institute: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $105 Thank you so much.

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($620) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Mousumi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

    • wishing you the best, Mousumi. Your post was clear and honest.

      • wishing you peace, Mousumi. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Bogra.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Mousumi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

          • Hang in there, Mousumi. I hope things turn around soon

            • Stay strong, Mousumi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
