Fighting colon cancer: help Rajiv afford treatment in Mumbai
Rajiv is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 India1,551 views
Rajiv was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Rajiv is 41, 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 Mumbai Regional Medical Center 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $780
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center: $160
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thinking of you, Vinayak. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Stay strong, Vinayak. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Keep going, Vinayak. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
