Vignesh's thyroid cancer treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at New Delhi University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇮🇳 New Delhi, Delhi, India3,142 views
Vignesh was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at New Delhi University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Vignesh is 51, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 New Delhi University Hospital 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $890
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to New Delhi University Hospital: $105
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $120
• Household costs while unable to work: $165
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
good luck. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
wishing you peace, Vidya. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Casablanca
hope it all works out, Vidya. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
