Standing with Krishnan: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs

Krishnan is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Krishnan was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at the Mysuru Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Krishnan is 54, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Mysuru Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,600 goes: • Scans and lab work: $155 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,100 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55 • Household costs while unable to work: $290 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Murugan
