Shruthi's colon cancer treatment fund
Shruthi is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,701 views
Shruthi was diagnosed with colon cancer in October. The oncology team at Nagpur University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Shruthi is 46, worked as a taxi driver until October, 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 Nagpur University Hospital 4 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 $950 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $170
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $135
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $645
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Shruthi?
Thank you. If you're in Nagpur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Gazipur.
how is Shruthi doing now?
so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Suresh. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
