Standing with Popy: colon cancer treatment costs

Popy was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Narayanganj University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Popy is 38, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Narayanganj University Hospital 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $590 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Transport to Narayanganj University Hospital: $130 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $155 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ayesha
