Help Mahesh through 12 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Newcastle upon Tyne
Mahesh was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Mahesh is 37, worked as a bus conductor until May, 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 Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre 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 $6,100 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,050 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,550 • Transport to Newcastle upon Tyne Cancer Centre: $500 If you're reading this, thank you. - Neelam

    Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Patras!

      You're not alone. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne

        Get well soon. My neighbor in Arusha donated after I showed her your page.
