Harsh's kidney cancer treatment fund

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

Belfast
Harsh was diagnosed with kidney cancer in December. The oncology team at Belfast University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Harsh is 54, worked as a tailor until December, 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 Belfast University Hospital 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $4,900 goes: • Scans and lab work: $680 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $440 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,850 • Transport to Belfast University Hospital: $930 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Neelam

        Take care, Neelam. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Belfast.
