In May I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Lucknow Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a bakery worker until May, 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 Lucknow Cancer Centre 2 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $350 goes: โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 โ€ข Transport to Lucknow Cancer Centre: $80 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $195 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
