Standing with Dina: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Jeddah Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Dina was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in December. The oncology team at Jeddah Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Dina is 35, worked as a shop owner until December, 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 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $5,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,550 • Scans and lab work: $560 • Transport to Jeddah Regional Medical Center: $570 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $500 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,120 Thanks for being kind about this.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dina

      • Hadi Samir SalehOwnerAnswer

        It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $2,550, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
