Standing with Dhruv: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

Dhruv is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Dhruv was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in May. The oncology team at Pune Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Dhruv is 27, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 3 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $210 • Transport to Pune Regional Medical Center: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $310 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $885 With deep gratitude, Vaishali

        keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Pune.

            wishing you peace, Vaishali. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
