Reem's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Reem is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Reem was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at Jeddah Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Reem is 58, worked as a bakery worker until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Jeddah Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $5,600 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400 • Scans and lab work: $660 • Transport to Jeddah Regional Medical Center: $320 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,220 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Reem!

          Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!

          • Dennis A. Dominguez

            Wishing you the best, Ghada. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Yekaterinburg

            • Rosa S. Serrano

              Hope it all works out, Ghada. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

                Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 35 people at work. Greetings from Auckland.
