Yogesh's kidney cancer treatment fund

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

Kanpur
Yogesh was diagnosed with kidney cancer in June. The oncology team at Kanpur Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Yogesh is 32, worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Kanpur Cancer Centre 2 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 $1,800 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80 • Scans and lab work: $250 • Household costs while unable to work: $310 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,160 Thanks for being kind about this. - Gayathri

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($708 in total) the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $115 raised so far (6%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    • Zara Zoya MughalQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yogesh!

      • Gayathri H. NarayananOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($80) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Amir Eli Barak

      Wishing you the best. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Parramatta

          • Krishna Bishnu Pandey

            Hang in there, Gayathri. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
