Standing with Rohan: acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment costs
Supporting Rohan through acute lymphoblastic leukemia: medication, transport to Pune University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India804 views
Rohan was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in June. The oncology team at Pune University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Rohan is 58, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Pune University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $780
• Scans and lab work: $190
• Transport to Pune University Hospital: $145
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $165
I hope life is good to you.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rohan?
Thank you. If you're in Pune I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you the best, Arjun. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Richards Bay.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rohan
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $780 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Pune
so sorry you're going through this, Arjun. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Buenos Aires.
good luck, Arjun. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care
Sending strength, Arjun. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
