Sathi's prostate cancer treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Khulna Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇩 Khulna, Bangladesh1,743 views
Sathi was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November. The oncology team at Khulna Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in February. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Sathi is 55, worked as a farmer until November, 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 Khulna Regional Medical Center 5 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 $1,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
• Transport to Khulna Regional Medical Center: $100
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Ratul. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Yokohama.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Keep going, Ratul. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Love from Mumbai.
