Rashmi's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Sydney Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇦🇺 Australia7,253 views
Rashmi was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in January. The oncology team at Sydney Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in April. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Rashmi is 57, worked as a tailor until January, 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 Sydney Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $8,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,200
• Scans and lab work: $650
• Transport to Sydney Cancer Centre: $900
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $440
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,810
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength, Prakash. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Sydney
Praying for you, Prakash. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli.
