Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Prasad afford treatment in Hyderabad
Supporting Prasad through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Hyderabad Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Hyderabad, Telangana, India305 views
In August I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Hyderabad Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 53, I worked as a bakery worker 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 Hyderabad Regional Medical Center 3 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $850
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to Hyderabad Regional Medical Center: $155
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Household costs while unable to work: $140
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
