Standing with Kunal: cervical cancer treatment costs

Kunal was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July. The oncology team at Vadodara University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Kunal is 55, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 Vadodara University Hospital 3 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. 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: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $200 • Transport to Vadodara University Hospital: $90 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60 • Household costs while unable to work: $150 Every share and every dollar helps. - Mrunal
