Fighting stomach cancer: help Ananya afford treatment in Tucson

Supporting Ananya through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Tucson Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.

Tucson
In April I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Tucson Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 55, I worked as a tailor until April, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Tucson Cancer Centre 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 • Scans and lab work: $790 • Transport to Tucson Cancer Centre: $500 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $690 • Household costs while unable to work: $920 Glad we found this place.

    • Rhea L. SantosQuestion

      what's already covered and what's the $8,400 for?

      • Ananya ChaturvediOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $5,500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Gloria S. Santiago

      keep going, Ananya. Your post was clear and honest.

      • Zhen Zhang

        Shared it with a few friends. I hope July is when things finally get easier. All the best.

        • Marcus E. Ray

          Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal. God bless.
