Standing with Rania: thyroid cancer treatment costs
Rania is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇪🇬 Egypt1,818 views
Rania was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at 6th of October City Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Rania is 40, worked as a taxi driver 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 6th of October City Regional Medical Center 5 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 $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $150
• Transport to 6th of October City Regional Medical Center: $150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $190
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Tlaquepaque.
Take care, Nada. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of 6th of October City
Hang in there, Nada. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you. Thinking of 6th of October City.
Hope things get better soon, Nada. I hope things turn around soon
