Nisha's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Aurangabad Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In April I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Aurangabad Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 45, I worked as a nurse until April, 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 Aurangabad Cancer Centre 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $175 • Transport to Aurangabad Cancer Centre: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $255 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Sheffield.

    • Isaiah Stanley

      hang in there, Nisha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mendoza.

      • Jürgen Fabian Beck

        Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

        • Anand D. Bajwa

          Good luck, Nisha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
