Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Mohit afford treatment in Mumbai

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Mumbai Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Mumbai
Mohit was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Mohit is 33, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 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 $1,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Scans and lab work: $140 • Transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center: $120 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $230 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Aadhya

        So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

            Take care, Aadhya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
