Ziad's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Lille Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 Lille, Hauts-de-France, France5,838 views
Ziad was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in May. The oncology team at the Lille Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Ziad is 43, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until May, 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 Lille 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Transport to the Lille Oncology Institute: $650
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,750
• Scans and lab work: $640
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
If you're reading this, thank you.

rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ziad?
Thank you. If you're in Lille I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
best of luck, Dalia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ziad.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to the Lille Oncology Institute is the biggest at $650. It helps to be asked.
rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. Love from San Jose.
you're not alone, Dalia. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Verona so I could bring a meal. Greetings from New York.
Sending good thoughts, Dalia. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Albany.
