Standing with Varun: stage 2 breast cancer treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Nagpur University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India2,445 views
Varun was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July. The oncology team at Nagpur University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Varun is 50, worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Nagpur University Hospital 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Scans and lab work: $125
• Transport to Nagpur University Hospital: $70
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $195
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Varun a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
