Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Gaurav afford treatment in Dwarka
Gaurav is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India2,219 views
Gaurav was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at Dwarka University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Gaurav is 28, worked as a shop owner 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 Dwarka University Hospital 2 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 $850 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $530
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Transport to Dwarka University Hospital: $135
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gaurav.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. scans and lab work is the biggest at $100. It helps to be asked.

Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
