Standing with Nada: prostate cancer treatment costs
Nada is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In July I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Zagazig University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 47, I worked as a bus conductor 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 Zagazig 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760
• Household costs while unable to work: $200
• Scans and lab work: $155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
