Kanpur
In July I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at the Kanpur Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 53, I worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 the Kanpur Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,600 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970 • Scans and lab work: $150 • Transport to the Kanpur Oncology Institute: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Household costs while unable to work: $240 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Ketki
