Standing with Omar: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Omar through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Luxor Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,540 views
Omar was diagnosed with colon cancer in February. The oncology team at the Luxor Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Omar is 37, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, 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 Luxor Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $540
• Scans and lab work: $105
• Transport to the Luxor Oncology Institute: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Household costs while unable to work: $245
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
