Vijay's kidney cancer treatment fund

Vijay is facing kidney cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Tiruchirappalli
In August I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My oncology team at Tiruchirappalli Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a bakery worker until August, 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 Tiruchirappalli Regional Medical Center 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 $1,000 goes: • Scans and lab work: $135 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $710 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $155 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

          Wishing Vijay a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
