Vihaan's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Pune Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
Anywhere in the world420 views
Vihaan was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at Pune Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Vihaan is 47, worked as a primary school teacher 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 Pune Cancer Centre 4 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 $1,750 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,050
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to Pune Cancer Centre: $85
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $150
• Household costs while unable to work: $245
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you, Harsh. Wishing Vihaan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Pune.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Gwagwalada.
