Help me through 12 rounds of treatment for early-stage lung cancer

12 rounds of treatment are planned at New Delhi University Hospital; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

In September I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at New Delhi University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until September, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to New Delhi University Hospital 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $90 • Transport to New Delhi University Hospital: $160 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Household costs while unable to work: $330 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Good luck, Jyoti. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.

    • Maria N. Velasco

      Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of New Delhi

      • Kiran Sadia Warraich

        Sending strength, Jyoti. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
