Fighting prostate cancer: help Manoj afford treatment in Udaipur
8 rounds of treatment are planned at the Udaipur Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Manoj was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September. The oncology team at the Udaipur Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Manoj is 55, worked as a bakery worker until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Udaipur 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $620
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to the Udaipur Oncology Institute: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Household costs while unable to work: $155
Glad we found this place.
- Ramesh

Thanks for sharing this, Ramesh. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Udaipur.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Udaipur.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Ramesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done
