Standing with Umesh: a rare sarcoma treatment costs
Supporting Umesh through a rare sarcoma: medication, transport to Nashik University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India872 views
In October I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Nashik University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 40, I worked as a nurse until October, 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 Nashik 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350
• Scans and lab work: $230
• Transport to Nashik University Hospital: $115
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $190
Every share and every dollar helps.
