Standing with Saanvi: kidney cancer treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Toronto University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Saanvi was diagnosed with kidney cancer in October. The oncology team at Toronto University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in January. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Saanvi is 57, worked as a bakery worker until October, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Toronto University Hospital 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $3,250 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540 • Scans and lab work: $770 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,940 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Satish

  • will you pay the treatment center directly?

    • Satish L. PandeyOwnerAnswer

      It comes to me first, then I pay the treatment center myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Happy to explain more.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Satish. This could happen to any of us!

    • So sorry you're going through this, Satish. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Hanoi.

      • hang in there, Satish. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
