Taghreed's colon cancer treatment fund
Supporting Taghreed through colon cancer: medication, transport to Málaga University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇪🇸 Málaga, Andalusia, Spain5,247 views
Taghreed was diagnosed with colon cancer in March. The oncology team at Málaga University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Taghreed is 47, worked as a taxi driver 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 Málaga 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $6,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,500
• Scans and lab work: $920
• Transport to Málaga University Hospital: $730
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570
• Household costs while unable to work: $980
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Ubud
you're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Recife so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Waleed. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Sending strength, Waleed. Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
