Fighting cervical cancer: help Nusrat afford treatment in Mumbai

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Mumbai Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Mumbai
Nusrat was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September. The oncology team at Mumbai Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Nusrat is 35, worked as a bank teller until September, 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 Mumbai Cancer Centre 3 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 $1,150 goes: • Transport to Mumbai Cancer Centre: $100 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $690 • Scans and lab work: $300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Habib

      Wishing you the best, Habib. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
