Standing with Qasim: stomach cancer treatment costs

Qasim was diagnosed with stomach cancer in February. The oncology team at Lahore University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Qasim is 26, worked as a hairdresser until February, 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 University Hospital 2 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 $800 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Scans and lab work: $185 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $545 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Saima
