Standing with Hari: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Supporting Hari through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Aurangabad Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,001 views
In November I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Aurangabad Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 51, I worked as a tailor until November, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Aurangabad Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $500 goes:
• Transport to Aurangabad Regional Medical Center: $195
• Scans and lab work: $180
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck, Hari. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Aurangabad.
I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Liverpool.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Hannover so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Aurangabad.
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Bogor this morning. Love from Bogor.
is transport to Aurangabad Regional Medical Center the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. transport to Aurangabad Regional Medical Center is the big one at $195, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless
Stay strong, Hari. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Rajkot.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Aurangabad
Take care, Hari. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
