Standing with Sawsan: cervical cancer treatment costs

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Bilbao University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Bilbao
Sawsan was diagnosed with cervical cancer in December. The oncology team at Bilbao University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Sawsan is 29, worked as a bus conductor until December, 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 Bilbao University Hospital 4 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 $6,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,600 • Scans and lab work: $1,200 • Transport to Bilbao University Hospital: $520 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $530 • Household costs while unable to work: $750 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Tariq

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Birmingham.

        Wishing you peace, Tariq. Wishing Sawsan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Bilbao.

              hang in there, Tariq. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Los Angeles.

                  Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                  • Carmela M. Lacson

                    rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Yonkers.

                      Keep going, Tariq. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Seville this morning. Take care
