Priyanka was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Priyanka is 35, worked as a bakery worker until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Mumbai Regional Medical Center 4 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105 • Household costs while unable to work: $275 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Dinesh
