Fighting cervical cancer: help Yash afford treatment in Patna
Supporting Yash through cervical cancer: medication, transport to Patna Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Patna, Bihar, India1,126 views
Yash was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Patna Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Yash is 32, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Patna Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Household costs while unable to work: $225
I hope life is good to you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($385 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Patna: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yash.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted
