Standing with Swapnil: colon cancer treatment costs
Swapnil is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇮🇳 Patna, Bihar, India717 views
Swapnil was diagnosed with colon cancer in December. The oncology team at Patna Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in March. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Swapnil is 32, worked as a tailor until December, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Patna Cancer Centre 3 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $250
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,225
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Swapnil
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. household costs while unable to work is the biggest at $250. Ask me anything else.
Stay strong, Supriya. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Swapnil?
Thank you. If you're in Patna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Best of luck, Supriya. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 30 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
hope it all works out, Supriya. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Patna.
Good luck, Supriya. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Wishing you the best, Supriya. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Patna
