Standing with Sudha: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Kolkata University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India1,134 views
In August I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Kolkata University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a bus conductor 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 Kolkata University Hospital 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 $1,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $650
• Transport to Kolkata University Hospital: $155
• Household costs while unable to work: $295
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Sudha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Best of luck, Sudha. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Kolkata.
good luck, Sudha. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Gold Coast so I could bring a meal.
You're not alone. Get well soon. Thinking of Kolkata.
Sending good thoughts, Sudha. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
this could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Vitória da Conquista but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
