Pranjal's multiple myeloma treatment fund
Pranjal is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 400051, Thane, Maharashtra, India2,264 views
In June I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at the Thane Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 52, I worked as a construction supervisor 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 $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960
• Scans and lab work: $120
• Transport to the Thane Oncology Institute: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $185
If you're reading this, thank you.
