Standing with Gopal: colon cancer treatment costs

6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Kathmandu Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Kathmandu
Gopal was diagnosed with colon cancer in September. The oncology team at the Kathmandu Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Gopal is 24, worked as a construction supervisor until September, 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 the Kathmandu Oncology Institute 4 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 $500 goes: • Scans and lab work: $85 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $380 • Transport to the Kathmandu Oncology Institute: $35 Thanks for being kind about this. - Rojina
