Mangaluru
Vihaan was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. The oncology team at Mangaluru Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Vihaan is 41, worked as a hairdresser until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Mangaluru Cancer Centre 3 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,650 goes: โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $270 โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $175 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 Glad we found this place.

    Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Mangaluru.

          Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Mangaluru.
