Standing with Aarav: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
Aarav is facing stage 3 ovarian cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India2,274 views
Aarav was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in June. The oncology team at the Indore Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Aarav is 57, worked as a taxi driver until June, 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 the Indore Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to the Indore Oncology Institute: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Pooja. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Dhaka
Keep going, Pooja. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Take care, Pooja. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
