Standing with Jamila: thyroid cancer treatment costs
Supporting Jamila through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Heliopolis Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Egypt908 views
In July I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Heliopolis Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, 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 Heliopolis Cancer Centre 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $900 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
• Household costs while unable to work: $220
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $610
Thanks for reading all this.
