Standing with Rahma: cervical cancer treatment costs
Supporting Rahma through cervical cancer: medication, transport to the Heliopolis Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

In March I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at the Heliopolis Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a construction supervisor until March, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Heliopolis Oncology Institute 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
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: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $110
• Transport to the Heliopolis Oncology Institute: $55
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
Every share and every dollar helps.

hope things get better soon, Rahma. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rahma?
You're not alone, Rahma. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Limerick.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Liverpool!
Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Love from Cebu City!
Sending strength, Rahma. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update.
