Fighting cervical cancer: help Abhishek afford treatment in Nagpur
Abhishek is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India1,435 views
Abhishek was diagnosed with cervical cancer in January. The oncology team at Nagpur University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Abhishek is 24, worked as a hairdresser until January, 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 Nagpur University Hospital 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 $500 goes:
• Transport to Nagpur University Hospital: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
• Scans and lab work: $165
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is transport to Nagpur University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. transport to Nagpur University Hospital comes first ($75) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Sylhet
Praying for you, Nikhil. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 16 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Mardan.
praying for you. Wishing Abhishek a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Las Cruces so I could bring a meal. God bless
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 33 people at work. Greetings from Taguig
take care, Nikhil. Wishing Abhishek a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
