Standing with Noreen: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs

Noreen was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at Hyderabad University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Noreen is 32, worked as a hairdresser 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 Hyderabad University Hospital 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $870 • Scans and lab work: $220 • Transport to Hyderabad University Hospital: $115 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $145 If you're reading this, thank you.
