Standing with Shazia: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs

Shazia is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Shazia was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in May. The oncology team at Faisalabad University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Shazia is 28, worked as a construction supervisor until May, 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 Faisalabad University Hospital 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960 • Scans and lab work: $180 • Transport to Faisalabad University Hospital: $70 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $230 Thank you for reading my story. - Babar
