Standing with Saif: thyroid cancer treatment costs
Supporting Saif through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Prayagraj Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 India1,138 views
Saif was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Prayagraj Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Saif is 58, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Prayagraj Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $800 goes:
• Transport to Prayagraj Cancer Centre: $85
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $140
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $575
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Alamin. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Sheffield
Is transport to Prayagraj Cancer Centre the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Prayagraj Cancer Centre comes first ($85) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Sending strength, Alamin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Santa Rosa!
You're not alone, Alamin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Keep going, Alamin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
You're not alone, Alamin. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Diego
