Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help Saraswathi afford treatment in Patna
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Patna University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Saraswathi was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Patna University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Saraswathi is 29, worked as a hairdresser until May, 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 Patna University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $650 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $350
• Transport to Patna University Hospital: $165
• Scans and lab work: $135
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Mar del Plata donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Philadelphia.
Stay strong, Mythili. This could happen to any of us. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
So sorry you're going through this, Mythili. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you the best, Mythili. Wishing Saraswathi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up.
