Help me through 4 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Jabalpur Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Jabalpur
In July I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Jabalpur Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Jabalpur 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,600 goes: • Transport to Jabalpur Regional Medical Center: $75 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $950 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Household costs while unable to work: $345 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
