Vivaan's prostate cancer treatment fund

Supporting Vivaan through prostate cancer: medication, transport to Siliguri Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

Siliguri
Vivaan was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Siliguri Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Vivaan is 35, worked as a shop owner until April, 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 Siliguri Cancer Centre 5 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 $1,550 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $970 • Scans and lab work: $240 • Transport to Siliguri Cancer Centre: $65 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $65 • Household costs while unable to work: $210 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Shilpa

  1. Thank you all. We're at 48% now ($738). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($425 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Siliguri Cancer Centre. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($310 in total) I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
