Pankaj's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Pankaj was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at Nashik Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Pankaj is 48, worked as a primary school teacher until May, 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 Nashik Cancer Centre 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 $800 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $530 • Scans and lab work: $150 Thank you so much. - Chhaya
