Standing with Puja: cervical cancer treatment costs

In August I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Varanasi Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a bank teller until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Varanasi Cancer Centre 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $710 • Transport to Varanasi Cancer Centre: $165 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Scans and lab work: $150 With deep gratitude, Puja
