Het's prostate cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Amritsar University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In July I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Amritsar University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 41, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Amritsar University Hospital 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 $1,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $195
• Transport to Amritsar University Hospital: $165
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
take care, Het. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Londrina but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
