Pooja's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
Supporting Pooja through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Thane Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India381 views
In June I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at the Thane Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 43, I worked as a bank teller until June, 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 the Thane Oncology Institute 5 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 $550 goes:
• Transport to the Thane Oncology Institute: $135
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Household costs while unable to work: $230
• Scans and lab work: $130
Thanks for reading all this.
