Standing with Rafiq: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Rafiq through colon cancer: medication, transport to New Delhi University Hospital, and living costs while He cannot work.
🇮🇳 India2,547 views
Rafiq was diagnosed with colon cancer in January. The oncology team at New Delhi University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Rafiq is 27, worked as a hairdresser 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 New Delhi University Hospital 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300
• Scans and lab work: $185
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Transport to New Delhi University Hospital: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Love from Tlaquepaque.
Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Semarang.
hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Padua so I could bring a meal. Take care
Wishing you the best, Shima. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of New Delhi.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
