Standing with Vinod: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Vinod is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Vinod was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Thiruvananthapuram Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Vinod is 45, worked as a shop owner 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 the Thiruvananthapuram Oncology Institute 2 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 $700 goes: โ€ข Scans and lab work: $220 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $385 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Aishwarya
