Standing with Ganesh: multiple myeloma treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Saket Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 India1,164 views
Ganesh was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in August. The oncology team at Saket Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Ganesh is 36, worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Saket Cancer Centre 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 $1,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $980
• Scans and lab work: $180
• Transport to Saket Cancer Centre: $75
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Household costs while unable to work: $285
Glad we found this place.

Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($200). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($548 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($110). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.

Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Saket.
