Rajiv's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Jabalpur University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Rajiv was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Jabalpur University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Rajiv is 25, worked as a tailor until July, 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 Jabalpur University Hospital 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 $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Transport to Jabalpur University Hospital: $85
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65
• Household costs while unable to work: $350
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Het. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rajiv.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $1,100. Fair thing to want to know.
So sorry you're going through this, Het. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Love from St. Petersburg.
hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Take care.
You're not alone. Wishing Rajiv a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
wishing you peace, Het. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Sending love. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to New York so I could bring a meal.
