Fighting stomach cancer: help Diya afford treatment in Bengaluru
Diya is facing stomach cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Bengaluru, Karnataka, India901 views
Diya was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at Bengaluru Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Diya is 44, worked as a nurse until August, 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 Bengaluru Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $900
• Scans and lab work: $140
• Transport to Bengaluru Cancer Centre: $140
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $310
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

praying for you. Get well soon. We're a small family in Palmira but we're thinking of you. Love from Palmira.
thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Multan.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Bengaluru.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
Best of luck, Sachin. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
