Standing with Anjana: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

Supporting Anjana through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to the Bengaluru Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Anjana was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at the Bengaluru Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Anjana is 32, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 the Bengaluru Oncology Institute 5 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,150 goes: • Transport to the Bengaluru Oncology Institute: $170 • Household costs while unable to work: $135 • Scans and lab work: $260 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $585 Thanks for reading all this. - Mythili
