Standing with Tamanna: thyroid cancer treatment costs

Tamanna was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Rajshahi University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Tamanna is 27, worked as a taxi driver 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 Rajshahi University Hospital 3 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 $1,400 goes: • Scans and lab work: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $990 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
