Jalandhar
Sudha was diagnosed with colon cancer in July. The oncology team at the Jalandhar Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Sudha is 42, worked as a bakery worker until July, 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 the Jalandhar Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $690 • Scans and lab work: $260 • Transport to the Jalandhar Oncology Institute: $115 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $155 Thanks for reading all this.

          Thank you. If you're in Jalandhar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
