Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Pradeep afford treatment in Mumbai
Pradeep is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,890 views
In September I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Mumbai Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a hairdresser until September, 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 Mumbai Cancer Centre 2 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 $1,750 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Household costs while unable to work: $270
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Transport to Mumbai Cancer Centre: $100
Thank you for reading my story.
