Standing with Kamran: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Supporting Kamran through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Gujranwala Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

In June I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Gujranwala Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 Gujranwala 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 $1,350 goes:
• Transport to Gujranwala Cancer Centre: $130
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970
• Household costs while unable to work: $155
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Wishing Kamran a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Wishing you the best, Kamran. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Gujranwala.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Love from Rajkot.
So sorry you're going through this, Kamran. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless!
