Aishwarya's thyroid cancer treatment fund

Supporting Aishwarya through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Pune Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Pune
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Pune Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 36, I worked as a tailor until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Pune Cancer Centre 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,750 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $270 • Transport to Pune Cancer Centre: $105 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Aishwarya

                      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
