Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Gaurav afford treatment in Chennai
Supporting Gaurav through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Chennai Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India2,099 views
Gaurav was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in November. The oncology team at Chennai Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Gaurav is 45, worked as a construction supervisor until November, 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 Chennai Cancer Centre 4 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 $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $860
• Scans and lab work: $210
• Transport to Chennai Cancer Centre: $120
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Household costs while unable to work: $200
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Dhaka.
Rooting for you, Rekha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Chennai!
Thank you. If you're in Chennai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you the best, Rekha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
thinking of you, Rekha. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
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. Love from Leeds.
