Fighting colon cancer: help Vishnu afford treatment in Nagpur
Supporting Vishnu through colon cancer: medication, transport to Nagpur Cancer Centre, and living costs while He cannot work.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India1,187 views
Vishnu was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at Nagpur Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Vishnu is 28, worked as a nurse 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 Nagpur Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $750
• Transport to Nagpur Cancer Centre: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. Get well soon. Love from Amsterdam.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nagpur!
Thank you. If you're in Nagpur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Thinking of you, Vignesh. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from San Antonio.
Wishing you peace, Vignesh. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Nizamabad.
