Fighting prostate cancer: help Latha afford treatment in Dwarka
Supporting Latha through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Dwarka University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 India1,569 views
Latha was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August. The oncology team at Dwarka University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Latha is 28, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Dwarka 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 $1,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to Dwarka University Hospital: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $135
Thank you for reading my story.

so sorry you're going through this, Sundar. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. After 16 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Latha a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
