Standing with Afshan: colon cancer treatment costs

Afshan is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In May I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Lahore Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Lahore Cancer Centre 2 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 $500 goes: • Transport to Lahore Cancer Centre: $155 • Scans and lab work: $185 • Household costs while unable to work: $160 Every share and every dollar helps.
