Manisha's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Memphis University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 Memphis, Tennessee, United States4,123 views
In February I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Memphis University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 42, I worked as a bus conductor until February, 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 Memphis University Hospital 3 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 $5,250 goes:
• Transport to Memphis University Hospital: $760
• Scans and lab work: $850
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,640
If you're reading this, thank you.
