Parvathi's kidney cancer treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Mumbai University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In February I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a primary school teacher until February, 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 Mumbai University Hospital 2 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 $1,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,000
• Scans and lab work: $120
• Transport to Mumbai University Hospital: $185
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $380
Thank you so much.

you're not alone, Parvathi. Get well soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Parvathi
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $1,000, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
Sending love, Parvathi. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you peace, Parvathi. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Parvathi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
wishing Parvathi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Amsterdam so I could bring a meal. Take care
