Fighting colon cancer: help Bhavna afford treatment in Salem

Supporting Bhavna through colon cancer: medication, transport to Salem Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Salem
Bhavna was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Salem Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Bhavna is 56, worked as a bus conductor until May, 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 Salem Regional Medical Center 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $600 • Scans and lab work: $160 • Transport to Salem Regional Medical Center: $65 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Household costs while unable to work: $170 I hope life is good to you.

      Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Salem.
