Standing with Hadi: kidney cancer treatment costs
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Jeddah University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,165 views
In November I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Jeddah University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 45, I worked as a primary school teacher until November, 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 Jeddah University Hospital 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 $1,900 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,250
• Transport to Jeddah University Hospital: $380
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270

hope it all works out, Hadi. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Hadi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. Love from Tokyo
