This here just got me. I looked up the thread and it brought tears to my eyes. We really failed him there, somehow that thread slipped under the radar. Feels bad. ;(Wow, I saw that thread in your post history where you asked for help with crowd funding that had absolutey no replies, and to see you at nearly $8k is pretty crazy. I'm sure this brings you some comfort in a very difficult space.
Even if it doesn't work out, I hope this makes you feel less like a burden and more like a person who mattered to some as you've touched many with your story.
Good luck and peace be with you no matter what!
Talal, I hope this is the right place to say this. But have you looked at other countries for your treatment? The service and peofessionals are just as good as any provder in US, but sometimes half the cost. It's an industry. For example, Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad (India) is world class and high tech. It also has an Arabic Pavillion, an entire wing of the hospital just dedicated to serving people from Arab countries. They have staff speaking in Arabic and have translators as well. Your english is terrific, but I wanted to stress that there are hospitals that can treat you for lot less. There's also the Health City in Abu Dhabi (but I hear its slightly more expensive).
Whatever you decide, I hope you get the best treatment and get back to being full. We need you in future Kojima threads.
My cousin died from Hodgkin's when he was 33ish, or so. I don't know if it was that type, it was back in the early 90s before we know a lot of what we know now. Hope it works out for you.I don't know as much as some but, at least for pembrolizumab, it's one of the cards up my sleeve for my own treatment (refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma), so, I did a lot of reading.

Just contributed. It took me two attempts for it to work. So if anyone gets an error when paying with paypal, just keep trying!
Stay strong and keep fighting, Talal!

My father in law has US insurance, but he travels to India for his cancer treatment. He said he's surprised why other people dont do it. My father did not have US insurance but he travelled to India foe treatment as well.Worth considering for sure. I wonder how the math works out for things like cancer treatments that require long term treatment, rather than a one time thing.
I'd suggest paypal somone you trust that can do that on your behalf bro. F&F is adviced.Paypal continues to refuse to work for me (claims it can't process my payment). Sorry, Talal. I'll keep trying. :(
QFT. It would be great to keep this thread on the tippy top for a few weeks, or until we hit the goal.Thread should definitely be stickied. Heart breaking situation but a heart warming response from the kind members here.
I'll be donating soon dude, wish you all the best!
Same here, is it Paypal rejecting the website? Seems weird.Paypal continues to refuse to work for me (claims it can't process my payment). Sorry, Talal. I'll keep trying. :(
It worked fine for me.
I'll be paypaling as well. Have hope.
Let's get this thread stickied so everyone can see it.
That makes sense. All the more reason to keep it bumped. A lot of people ignore and gloss over stickied threads also.I'd guess the admins don't want this stickied because the site doesn't want to give an outright endorsement in case all the funds are pilfered somehow. It's unfortunate, but it's better to be community driven probably.
