Standing with Aarti: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Pune University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Pune
In July I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Pune University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 33, I worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Pune University Hospital 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 $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $810 • Scans and lab work: $90 • Transport to Pune University Hospital: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $335 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
