Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Karan afford treatment in Saket

Karan is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Saket
Karan was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Saket Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Karan is 57, worked as a bus conductor 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 Saket Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,450 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $300 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,065 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

          Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Saket.

            So sorry you're going through this, Yamini. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Mandurah.
