Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Madhavan afford treatment in Rajkot
Madhavan is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Gujarat, India1,556 views
Madhavan was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in December. The oncology team at the Rajkot Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Madhavan is 46, worked as a tailor until December, 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 Rajkot Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,650 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Transport to the Rajkot Oncology Institute: $200
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,390
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

keep going, Senthil. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
hope you get there. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Madhavan
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($60) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Los Angeles.
