Standing with Manoj: prostate cancer treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Dharan Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In August I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Dharan Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a tailor 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 Dharan Cancer Centre 3 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 $1,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $630
• Household costs while unable to work: $150
• Transport to Dharan Cancer Centre: $100
• Scans and lab work: $170
Thank you for reading my story.
