Mangaluru
Bhavna was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at the Mangaluru Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Bhavna is 27, worked as a nurse until July, 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 the Mangaluru Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $240 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $130 I hope life is good to you. - Jyoti

  • Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Mangaluru

    • You're not alone, Jyoti. I hope things turn around soon.
