Anita's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Anita through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Kota University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 India1,883 views
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Kota University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a primary school teacher 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 Kota University Hospital 2 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400
• Scans and lab work: $170
• Transport to Kota University Hospital: $60
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $255

Update from Kota: I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

wishing Anita a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Swansea.
Sending love, Anita. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Anita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
