Standing with Zainab: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Heliopolis Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇪🇬 Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt931 views
Zainab was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in March. The oncology team at Heliopolis Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Zainab is 52, worked as a bus conductor until March, 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 Heliopolis 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $155
• Transport to Heliopolis Cancer Centre: $120
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
Glad we found this place.
