Standing with Milon: colon cancer treatment costs

Supporting Milon through colon cancer: medication, transport to Dhaka University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.

Milon was diagnosed with colon cancer in April. The oncology team at Dhaka University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Milon is 38, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Dhaka University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $500 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $270 • Transport to Dhaka University Hospital: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 Thanks for reading all this. - Sultana

Updates from Sultana

  1. Thank you all. We're at 66% now ($330). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($215 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($60). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.

    Hope it all works out, Sultana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Suwon.
