Help Ashok through 8 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Dharan Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Dharan
Ashok was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in April. The oncology team at Dharan Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Ashok is 24, worked as a hairdresser until April, 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 Dharan Regional Medical Center 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 $1,750 goes: • Transport to Dharan Regional Medical Center: $60 • Scans and lab work: $250 • Household costs while unable to work: $195 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,245 With deep gratitude, Padam

        Is transport to Dharan Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?

                Wishing you the best, Padam. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
