Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Lavanya afford treatment in Mumbai
Supporting Lavanya through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world990 views
Lavanya was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in February. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in May. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Lavanya is 29, worked as a taxi driver until February, 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 Mumbai Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $220
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center: $80
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Ashwin
Good news. Because of your gifts ($433 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
