Mizanur's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Varanasi Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In June I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Varanasi Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Varanasi Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $170
• Scans and lab work: $90
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760
• Transport to Varanasi Cancer Centre: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 15 people at work. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mizanur
This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Nakuru but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Varanasi
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Mandaue
Thinking of you and your family, Mizanur. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Cologne so I could bring a meal
Get well soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Barranquilla
