Standing with Zahra: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Zahra is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,753 views
Zahra was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in April. The oncology team at Alexandria University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Zahra is 30, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Alexandria 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,500
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to Alexandria University Hospital: $55
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Household costs while unable to work: $195
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Zaid. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Alexandria
