Help Bhavna through 10 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Mumbai Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India2,680 views
Bhavna was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Bhavna is 44, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until April, 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $880
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center: $80
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $265
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bhavna
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Niterói but we're thinking of you. Love from Niterói!
Sending love, Chinmay. Get well soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Cox's Bazar.
Wishing you peace, Chinmay. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Love from Gliwice
Good luck, Chinmay. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Mumbai.
