Anand's cervical cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Aurora Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Anand was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August. The oncology team at the Aurora Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Anand is 48, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Aurora 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $11,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000
• Scans and lab work: $1,750
• Transport to the Aurora Oncology Institute: $690
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $690
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,070
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Sheffield.
wishing you peace. Hope you get there. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hang in there, Madhu. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
