Standing with Parvin: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

Parvin was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in March. The oncology team at Siliguri Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Parvin is 26, worked as a hairdresser until March, 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 Siliguri 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. 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: $730 • Scans and lab work: $250 • Transport to Siliguri Regional Medical Center: $175 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45 • Household costs while unable to work: $200 Thank you for reading my story.
