Radha's stomach cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at London University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world2,824 views
Radha was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at London University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Radha is 42, worked as a bus conductor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to London University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,750 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Transport to London University Hospital: $770
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, Krishna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of London.
Thinking of you. Get well soon. We're a small family in Adama but we're thinking of you. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Radha?
Thanks for sharing this, Krishna. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Krishna. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
What's already covered and what's the $8,750 for?
It's all in the list in the story. scans and lab work is the big one at $1,150, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
