Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Ritu afford treatment in Kanpur
Supporting Ritu through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Kanpur Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 India1,152 views
In July I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Kanpur Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 37, I worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 Kanpur Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,350 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $145
• Scans and lab work: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970
If you're reading this, thank you.

Rooting for you, Ritu. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Leeds

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Kanpur.
thanks for sharing this, Ritu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Stay strong, Ritu. Get well soon. God bless.
