Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Lakshmi afford treatment in Nashik
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Nashik Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India1,021 views
Lakshmi was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Nashik Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Lakshmi is 25, worked as a shop owner until July, 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 Nashik Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $90
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $930
• Transport to Nashik Cancer Centre: $80
Thank you for reading my story.
