Standing with Waqas: kidney cancer treatment costs

Waqas was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Mardan Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Waqas is 51, worked as a tailor 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 the Mardan Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $590 • Scans and lab work: $95 • Transport to the Mardan Oncology Institute: $75 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $95 Thanks for reading all this. - Eman
