Standing with Madhuri: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs

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

Jabalpur
In August I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Jabalpur University Hospital has planned 12 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 51, I worked as a shop owner until August, 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 Jabalpur University Hospital 5 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 $1,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $700 • Scans and lab work: $230 • Transport to Jabalpur University Hospital: $110 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Household costs while unable to work: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
