Rasika's stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment fund

Rasika is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Galle
In May I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at the Galle Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a hairdresser until May, 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 Galle 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 $1,700 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Household costs while unable to work: $400 • Scans and lab work: $160 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
