Ruma's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Ruma is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Khulna
Ruma was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at the Khulna Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Ruma is 40, worked as a tailor until March, 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 the Khulna 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $330 • Scans and lab work: $155 • Transport to the Khulna Oncology Institute: $75 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Household costs while unable to work: $95 Glad we found this place. - Habib
