Standing with Pranav: thyroid cancer treatment costs
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Aurangabad Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 India880 views
Pranav was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at Aurangabad Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Pranav is 48, worked as a bank teller 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 Aurangabad Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $500
• Scans and lab work: $110
• Transport to Aurangabad Cancer Centre: $95
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $400
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you. Wishing Pranav a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Aurangabad!
Thank you. If you're in Aurangabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
You're not alone, Swati. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Aurangabad.
