Vandana was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Surat Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Vandana is 36, worked as a taxi driver until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Surat 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,900 goes: • Transport to Surat Cancer Centre: $110 • Scans and lab work: $300 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,490 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
