Mumbai
Neha was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at the Mumbai Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Neha is 55, worked as a nurse until July, 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 the Mumbai Oncology Institute 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 $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $820 • Transport to the Mumbai Oncology Institute: $175 • Household costs while unable to work: $205 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Nilesh
