Standing with Omer: kidney cancer treatment costs

Supporting Omer through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Lahore Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Omer was diagnosed with kidney cancer in January. The oncology team at Lahore Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Omer is 46, worked as a shop owner until January, 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 Lahore Cancer Centre 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,100 goes: • Transport to Lahore Cancer Centre: $80 • Scans and lab work: $145 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $765 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Nimra

  1. Small update. $361 so far, I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. - Nimra

  2. Update from Lahore: we've started the first stage. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($190 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Omer

      • Nimra Humaira OrakzaiOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Lahore Cancer Centre comes first ($80) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
