Fighting a rare sarcoma: help Rajesh afford treatment in Coimbatore

Rajesh is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In August I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Coimbatore Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 48, I worked as a bakery worker 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 Coimbatore Cancer Centre 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,000 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $480 • Scans and lab work: $165 • Transport to Coimbatore Cancer Centre: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $200 If you're reading this, thank you. - Rajesh
