Standing with Omar: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Riyadh University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia7,277 views
Omar was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Riyadh University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Omar is 26, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Riyadh University Hospital 3 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 $6,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,850
• Scans and lab work: $1,050
• Transport to Riyadh University Hospital: $480
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $520
• Household costs while unable to work: $950
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Thinking of Riyadh
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Take care, Fatima. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
What exactly is the $6,850 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $3,850. Thanks for asking.
Best of luck, Fatima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Hope it all works out, Fatima. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope it all works out, Fatima. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours.
Wishing you peace, Fatima. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Fort Worth so I could bring a meal. Love from Pune.
