Gaurav's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Gaurav is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Siliguri
Gaurav was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at the Siliguri Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Gaurav is 39, worked as a bakery worker until February, 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 the Siliguri Oncology Institute 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 $1,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $95 • Transport to the Siliguri Oncology Institute: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $405 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
