Standing with Arjun: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Arjun is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India686 views
Arjun was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Pune Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Arjun is 44, worked as a hairdresser 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 Pune Regional Medical Center 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 $1,550 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $860
• Scans and lab work: $200
• Transport to Pune Regional Medical Center: $145
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
Every share and every dollar helps.
