Standing with Shweta: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
Supporting Shweta through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Thrissur Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇮🇳 Kerala, India1,530 views
In August I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Thrissur Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a primary school teacher 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 Thrissur Regional Medical Center 4 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 $400 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $165
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85
• Transport to Thrissur Regional Medical Center: $150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shweta.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. scans and lab work is the biggest at $165. It helps to be asked.
praying for you. Wishing Shweta a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
