Help me through 12 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
Senthil is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 India1,274 views
In August I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Nizamabad Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 29, I worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Nizamabad Regional Medical Center 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 $1,250 goes:
• Transport to Nizamabad Regional Medical Center: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,020
I hope life is good to you.

How is Senthil doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Senthil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
sending good thoughts, Senthil. Wishing Senthil a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Nizamabad.
wishing you peace, Senthil. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
