Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Vihaan afford treatment in Mumbai
Supporting Vihaan through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Mumbai University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world636 views
Vihaan was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Vihaan is 34, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Mumbai University Hospital 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Scans and lab work: $185
• Transport to Mumbai University Hospital: $120
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90
• Household costs while unable to work: $355
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 38% funded and I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
