Standing with Nandini: prostate cancer treatment costs
Supporting Nandini through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Mumbai Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world1,053 views
Nandini was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Mumbai Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Nandini is 25, 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 her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Mumbai Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $250
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $730
With deep gratitude,
Tejaswini

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nandini?
Thank you. If you're in Mumbai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Ho.
Thinking of you, Tejaswini. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nandini
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hang in there, Tejaswini. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Bacolod!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Tejaswini. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
