Standing with Salma: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

Salma was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Dhaka University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Salma is 28, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Dhaka University Hospital 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 $1,200 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $170 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $790 • Scans and lab work: $145 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
