Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Ketki afford treatment in Nagpur

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

In August I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Nagpur Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 37, I worked as a tailor until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Nagpur Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $680 • Scans and lab work: $110 • Transport to Nagpur Regional Medical Center: $140 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Household costs while unable to work: $300 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal
