Rumana Haque Zahn Cancer Fund
Donation protected
Our beloved Rumana Haque Zahn was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma about 2 weeks ago. She had two surgeries in the past two weeks to remove the cancerous tumor which were unsuccessful. She was referred to an oncologist in Utah and had a consultation, Monday, March 1.
The best course of treatment for this type of cancer is excision primarily with subsequent radiation. Rumana is scheduled for her third surgery on 3.11.21. Her surgeon will attempt to further remove the cancer and repair the excision site. She will require tissue from her neck, forearm and leg to repair the excision site. She will also have lymph nodes removed from her neck. Ru will be in the hospital for a week and will have a feeding tube for the first few days. She will then receive radiation treatment.
Ru will be unable to work for approximately three months due to travel for treatment to Salt Lake City and subsequent radiation treatment and recovery. She recently started a new job 6 months ago and has not accrued paid time off. She will have to take unpaid medical leave.
Our girl, Rumana would never ask for help in any kind of situation so it's up to us to ask for her. This is a rare cancer with an uncertain prognosis. No one should ever have to worry about finances while fighting with cancer. Rumana and her family appreciate any and all help you can provide.
We love you all and and are very, very hopeful!
