Standing with Liton: cervical cancer treatment costs
Liton is facing cervical cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 New Delhi, Delhi, India1,278 views
In January I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at the New Delhi Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 31, I worked as a bakery worker until January, 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 New Delhi 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $580
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Transport to the New Delhi Oncology Institute: $135
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $355
Thank you for reading my story.
