Fighting cervical cancer: help Radha afford treatment in Edinburgh
Supporting Radha through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Edinburgh Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇬🇧 Scotland, United Kingdom3,949 views
Radha was diagnosed with cervical cancer in March. The oncology team at Edinburgh Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Radha is 50, worked as a nurse until March, 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 Edinburgh Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,800 goes:
• Transport to Edinburgh Cancer Centre: $400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $650
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,750
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($2,775). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.

So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Radha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 14 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Sending good thoughts, Krishna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up
shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Praying for you, Krishna. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Machakos.
Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 8 people at work. Take care.
Take care, Krishna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Bornova so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
