Fighting colon cancer: help Dinesh afford treatment in Pune

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

Pune
Dinesh was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Pune Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Dinesh is 33, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Pune 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,450 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $195 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,195 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Parvathi

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 55% funded and the plan for household costs while unable to work is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $565 raised so far (39%). I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Small update. $430 so far, I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
