Standing with Pradeep: cervical cancer treatment costs

Dehiwala
Pradeep was diagnosed with cervical cancer in March. The oncology team at Dehiwala University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Pradeep is 33, worked as a bakery worker until March, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Dehiwala University Hospital 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670 • Scans and lab work: $250 • Transport to Dehiwala University Hospital: $85 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $280 With deep gratitude, Chamara
