Standing with Puja: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs

Puja is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Savar
Puja was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Savar Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Puja is 42, worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Savar 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $470 • Scans and lab work: $150 • Transport to Savar Cancer Centre: $95 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Household costs while unable to work: $245 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Nahid
