Standing with Padam: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Padam is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇵 Lalitpur, Bagmati, Nepal1,985 views
In August I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at the Lalitpur Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 54, 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 the Lalitpur Oncology Institute 2 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Transport to the Lalitpur Oncology Institute: $125
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Household costs while unable to work: $135
• Scans and lab work: $190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Praying for you, Padam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 16 people at work
Wishing you the best, Padam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Lalitpur.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Padam
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transport to the Lalitpur Oncology Institute is the biggest at $125. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you and your family, Padam. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
Stay strong, Padam. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Lalitpur
