Viral's prostate cancer treatment fund
Supporting Viral through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Nashik Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India2,345 views
In June I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at Nashik Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 58, I worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $960
• Scans and lab work: $85
• Transport to Nashik Cancer Centre: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Household costs while unable to work: $210
Glad we found this place.

best of luck, Viral. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
hope it all works out, Viral. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
hang in there. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Best of luck. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Stockholm
sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
