Vadodara
Deepak was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Vadodara Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Deepak is 53, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Vadodara 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 $1,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050 • Scans and lab work: $120 • Transport to Vadodara Regional Medical Center: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Household costs while unable to work: $310 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
