Standing with Tayyaba: cervical cancer treatment costs

Tayyaba is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Tayyaba was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at Karachi Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Tayyaba is 25, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Karachi Cancer Centre 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 $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900 • Scans and lab work: $125 • Transport to Karachi Cancer Centre: $125 Thanks for being kind about this.
