Standing with Chhaya: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Chhaya is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,196 views
Chhaya was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Thrissur University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Chhaya is 33, worked as a construction supervisor 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 Thrissur University Hospital 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $450 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $145
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Nashik.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Thrissur.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
