Nizamabad
Tharun was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Nizamabad Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Tharun is 26, worked as a primary school teacher until August, 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 Nizamabad Cancer Centre 4 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,600 goes: • Transport to Nizamabad Cancer Centre: $130 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Household costs while unable to work: $230 • Scans and lab work: $90 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nizamabad.

      Thank you. If you're in Nizamabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Praying for you, Vidya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.

      Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Nizamabad.

      • Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
