Tamanna's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Mumbai University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In September I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at Mumbai University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a primary school teacher until September, 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 Mumbai University Hospital 5 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 $1,450 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $800
• Scans and lab work: $95
• Transport to Mumbai University Hospital: $115
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150
• Household costs while unable to work: $290
Glad we found this place.
