Standing with Samir: colon cancer treatment costs
Supporting Samir through colon cancer: medication, transport to Alexandria Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇪🇬 Egypt609 views
Samir was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Alexandria Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Samir is 35, worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Alexandria 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Transport to Alexandria Regional Medical Center: $75
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $220
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $995
Thank you so much.

hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Lansing.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update.
rooting for you, Aisha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Samir
Transport to Alexandria Regional Medical Center is $75 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Rooting for you, Aisha. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 12 people at work.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Nottingham.
Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Kilkenny.
wishing Samir a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
