Fighting stomach cancer: help Priya afford treatment in Durham
Supporting Priya through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Durham Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 Durham, North Carolina, United States6,733 views
Priya was diagnosed with stomach cancer in July. The oncology team at Durham Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Priya is 31, worked as a bus conductor 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 Durham 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 $12,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500
• Scans and lab work: $630
• Transport to Durham Regional Medical Center: $1,050
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $660
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,360
If you're reading this, thank you.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Durham!
Thank you. If you're in Durham I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Priya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Móstoles.

Wishing you the best, Vishal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Durham.
What exactly is the $12,200 for?
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $7,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Vishal. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
