Haritha's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Haritha is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In September I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a bus conductor until September, 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 Mumbai Regional Medical Center 5 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 $1,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $830 • Scans and lab work: $135 • Transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center: $65 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70 • Household costs while unable to work: $200 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        How is Haritha doing now?

        • wishing you the best, Haritha. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

          • is there anything that isn't money that would help Haritha?

            • Wishing you the best. Wishing Haritha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Newcastle.

              • Keep going, Haritha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless

                • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Haritha.

                    Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($830) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

                • So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

                  • Sending strength, Haritha. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Mumbai.

                        • Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

                          • Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Glasgow

                            • Best of luck, Haritha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

                                • Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

                                  • rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Mumbai.

                                    • You're not alone. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
