Rania's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Rania through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Cairo Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt459 views
In October I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Cairo Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a taxi driver until October, 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 Cairo Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $500
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Transport to Cairo Cancer Centre: $155
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $270
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best, Rania. Looking forward to the next update.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. All the best.
take care, Rania. Get well soon. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope January is when things finally get easier
Wishing Rania a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
