Thane
In September I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at the Thane Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a taxi driver until September, 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 the Thane Oncology Institute 5 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 $2,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to the Thane Oncology Institute: $155 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Household costs while unable to work: $320 Thanks for reading all this. - Dinesh
