Standing with Jewel: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Jewel through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Comilla Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh2,184 views
Jewel was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Comilla Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Jewel is 50, worked as a construction supervisor 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 the Comilla Oncology Institute 4 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 $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Scans and lab work: $175
• Transport to the Comilla Oncology Institute: $135
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Household costs while unable to work: $195
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Tithi. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Thinking of you. Wishing Jewel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
