Standing with Prakash: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Gaya Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world828 views
Prakash was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Gaya Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Prakash is 27, worked as a bus conductor until August, 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 Gaya Cancer Centre 3 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $950
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to Gaya Cancer Centre: $160
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $190
With deep gratitude,
Kavita

So sorry you're going through this, Kavita. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Coimbatore.
Sending good thoughts, Kavita. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
Hang in there, Kavita. Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Gaya.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Kavita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
