Seema's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Seema through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to Ahmedabad Cancer Centre, and living costs while She cannot work.
🇮🇳 Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India152 views
In August I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Ahmedabad Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Ahmedabad Cancer Centre 4 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $680
• Scans and lab work: $140
• Transport to Ahmedabad Cancer Centre: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Household costs while unable to work: $270
Thank you so much.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 22 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this, Seema. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 21 people at work. Take care
