Standing with Komal: stomach cancer treatment costs

4 rounds of treatment are planned at Mumbai Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Komal was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November. The oncology team at Mumbai Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Komal is 42, worked as a construction supervisor until November, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Mumbai Cancer Centre 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,150 goes: • Scans and lab work: $210 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $600 • Household costs while unable to work: $230 • Transport to Mumbai Cancer Centre: $110 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yogita

    • Lanre OdukoyaQuestion

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Komal.

      • Yogita N. RanadeOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

        Sure. The biggest one is scans and lab work, $210. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.

    • Paraskevi Despina Oikonomou

      So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mumbai.

      • Alberto S. Vargas

        Hope things get better soon, Yogita. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.

        • Rashmi R. Dwivedi

          Hang in there, Yogita. This could happen to any of us. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mumbai

          • Yuki Ayaka Ito

            Stay strong. Wishing Komal a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
