Vaishali's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Vaishali is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world1,156 views
Vaishali was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at the Chennai Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Vaishali is 26, 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 her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Chennai 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,250
• Scans and lab work: $180
• Transport to the Chennai Oncology Institute: $65
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $60
• Household costs while unable to work: $245
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Pokhara.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Vigo this morning.
