Vignesh's prostate cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Nashik University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 India529 views
In July I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Nashik University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a bus conductor until July, 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 Nashik 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 $650 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $220
• Transport to Nashik University Hospital: $75
• Scans and lab work: $240
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
