Standing with Nargis: stomach cancer treatment costs

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Nashik Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Nashik
Nargis was diagnosed with stomach cancer in June. The oncology team at Nashik Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Nargis is 52, worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Nashik Regional Medical Center 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,500 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Transport to Nashik Regional Medical Center: $120 • Scans and lab work: $180 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Zahid
