Standing with Shweta: kidney cancer treatment costs

Shweta was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at the Jaipur Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Shweta is 52, 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 her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Jaipur Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Scans and lab work: $270 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $880 • Transport to the Jaipur Oncology Institute: $140 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Sunil
