Myra's kidney cancer treatment fund
Myra is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world794 views
Myra was diagnosed with kidney cancer in March. The oncology team at Coimbatore Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Myra is 35, worked as a bank teller until March, 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 Coimbatore 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to Coimbatore Cancer Centre: $130
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Household costs while unable to work: $155
I hope life is good to you.
