Fighting thyroid cancer: help Isha afford treatment in Rohini

Isha is facing thyroid cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Rohini
Isha was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June. The oncology team at Rohini Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Isha is 42, worked as a nurse until June, 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 Rohini Cancer Centre 3 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 $1,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $640 • Scans and lab work: $170 • Transport to Rohini Cancer Centre: $70 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Sending good thoughts, Tushar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

      Best of luck, Tushar. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Riverside so I could bring a meal

        I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • Hope it all works out, Tushar. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Ikeja.

          • Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. God bless

            • Praying for you, Tushar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Quezon City.
