Nazrul's thyroid cancer treatment fund

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Bengaluru University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Bengaluru
Nazrul was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Bengaluru University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Nazrul is 26, worked as a nurse until July, 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 Bengaluru University Hospital 5 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,400 goes: • Scans and lab work: $130 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $270 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Rubel
