Standing with Pooja: stomach cancer treatment costs
Supporting Pooja through stomach cancer: medication, transport to the Hubballi Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 India2,811 views
Pooja was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August. The oncology team at the Hubballi Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Pooja is 51, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 the Hubballi Oncology Institute 5 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 $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $760
• Scans and lab work: $260
• Transport to the Hubballi Oncology Institute: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Household costs while unable to work: $415
Every share and every dollar helps.

how is Pooja doing now?
Praying for you, Ravi. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Hannover but we're thinking of you. Take care
Sending love, Ravi. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Rooting for you, Ravi. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
is there anything that isn't money that would help Pooja?
Thank you. If you're in Hubballi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thinking of you and your family, Ravi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
so sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest
Wishing you peace, Ravi. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Take care, Ravi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
