Help Shweta through 10 rounds of treatment for colon cancer
Shweta is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom2,082 views
Shweta was diagnosed with colon cancer in January. The oncology team at Edinburgh Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Shweta is 47, worked as a farmer until January, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Edinburgh Regional Medical Center 4 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $5,250 goes:
• Transport to Edinburgh Regional Medical Center: $440
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,000
• Scans and lab work: $740
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,070
Glad we found this place.

Is transport to Edinburgh Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to Edinburgh Regional Medical Center is the biggest at $440. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this, Nisha. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Take care, Nisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Edinburgh.
Wishing you peace, Nisha. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
