Standing with Pari: prostate cancer treatment costs
Pari is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India1,180 views
In August I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Jodhpur Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a bakery worker 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 Jodhpur Cancer Centre 5 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $600
• Scans and lab work: $270
• Transport to Jodhpur Cancer Centre: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Household costs while unable to work: $240
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pari
So sorry you're going through this, Pari. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Kasarani but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Kasarani.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jodhpur
Thank you. If you're in Jodhpur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Pari. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Jodhpur.
Rooting for you, Pari. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Thane.

Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Alexandria.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Casablanca
Thinking of you and your family, Pari. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Paris.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Jodhpur.
