Standing with Parvin: prostate cancer treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Dhaka Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh722 views
Parvin was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Dhaka Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Parvin is 25, worked as a taxi driver until April, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Dhaka Cancer Centre 5 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670
• Scans and lab work: $155
• Transport to Dhaka Cancer Centre: $135
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
• Household costs while unable to work: $150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Parvin
thinking of you and your family, Ishrat. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Tokyo.
Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't give up. Love from Lahore
thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Gondar donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Sending strength, Ishrat. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
