Help Bhavani through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer

Supporting Bhavani through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.

Bhavani was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Bhavani is 40, worked as a farmer until August, 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 Mumbai Regional Medical Center 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870 • Scans and lab work: $185 • Transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center: $140 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  1. Quick update: $119 raised so far (8%). the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Mumbai: I made the first payment toward transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bhavani

        Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $870 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

    • Jade P. Tate

      Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Bhavani a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from San Jose.

        Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 25 people at work

              Take care, Aravind. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
