Pankaj's colon cancer treatment fund
Supporting Pankaj through colon cancer: medication, transport to the Rajkot Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,236 views
Pankaj was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. The oncology team at the Rajkot Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Pankaj is 50, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 the Rajkot Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,000 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $90
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $780
• Household costs while unable to work: $130
I hope life is good to you.
- Mahesh

Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Madurai but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Rajkot.
