Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Ashok afford treatment in Tiruchirappalli

Ashok is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Tiruchirappalli
Ashok was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in April. The oncology team at the Tiruchirappalli Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Ashok is 38, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Tiruchirappalli Oncology Institute 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 $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $570 • Scans and lab work: $290 • Transport to the Tiruchirappalli Oncology Institute: $180 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $215 I hope life is good to you. - Saanvi

  • Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli.

    • take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
