Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Komal afford treatment in San Diego
Supporting Komal through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to San Diego Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States4,737 views
Komal was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at San Diego Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Komal is 44, worked as a bank teller until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to San Diego Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $9,200 goes:
• Transport to San Diego Cancer Centre: $450
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $950
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,300
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you, Rohan. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Montréal
Take care, Rohan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Jakarta.
Your post was clear and honest. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
