Kunal's cervical cancer treatment fund
Kunal is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In August I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Chennai Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 Chennai Cancer Centre 4 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 $700 goes:
• Transport to Chennai Cancer Centre: $105
• Household costs while unable to work: $370
• Scans and lab work: $225
Thank you so much.

Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Chennai
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kunal
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to Chennai Cancer Centre is the biggest at $105. Thanks for looking so closely.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from San Jose
Wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending love, Kunal. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
