Help Karthik through 12 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Karthik is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Mangaluru, Karnataka, India1,149 views
Karthik was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at Mangaluru Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Karthik is 40, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 Mangaluru 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $450 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Household costs while unable to work: $155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

How is Karthik doing now?
hope it all works out, Lakshmi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Medellín.
stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 38 people at work. God bless.
Best of luck, Lakshmi. Wishing Karthik a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mangaluru
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about scans and lab work, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
get well soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Dwarka.
hope this works out for you. God bless
hope it all works out, Lakshmi. Shared this with my family. God bless
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Sending strength, Lakshmi. Get well soon. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you. Take care.
