Standing with Arslan: colon cancer treatment costs

Supporting Arslan through colon cancer: medication, transport to Lahore Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Arslan was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Lahore Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Arslan is 36, worked as a shop owner until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Lahore Cancer Centre 3 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $500 goes: • Transport to Lahore Cancer Centre: $150 • Scans and lab work: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $180 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Afshan

    Thanks for sharing this, Afshan. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Padua so I could bring a meal. Take care
