Standing with Manoj: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
Manoj is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Illinois, United States2,245 views
Manoj was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at Springfield University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Manoj is 28, worked as a bakery worker 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 Springfield University Hospital 4 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 $5,900 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,700
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $670
• Transport to Springfield University Hospital: $530
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manoj.
It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $4,700, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Springfield
You're not alone, Naresh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Rooting for you, Naresh. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Saint Petersburg so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Utrecht.
