Fighting cervical cancer: help Rajesh afford treatment in Saket
Rajesh is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Saket, Delhi, India1,971 views
Rajesh was diagnosed with cervical cancer in February. The oncology team at Saket University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Rajesh is 36, worked as a construction supervisor until February, 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 Saket 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Saket University Hospital: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110
• Household costs while unable to work: $140
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Saket.
Take care, Swetha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Sending love, Swetha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.

Take care. This could happen to any of us. Love from Negombo.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rajesh
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($1,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Rajesh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Brooklyn so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Petrópolis.
hope things get better soon, Swetha. Shared it with a few friends.
Shared this with my family. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Love from Katowice
Thanks for sharing this, Swetha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Saket.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Savar.
