Vijaya Tomar was diagnosed with CA ovary(ovarian cancer) in Nov 2020. It came to us as a shock because we were not prepared for any such financial emergency.

On meeting my oncologist at Apollo hospital, he suggested 3 chemotherapies before going for surgery. I went through all the necessary PET CTs ,related tests and 3 chemotherapy cycles took place between December 2020 - January 2021.

Then we went to AIIMS, Rishikesh for the surgery because we were facing financial problems. But,when my surgery date approached ,a new lesion in liver was diagnosed. At that time, my family got panicked and had to take me back to my treating oncologist at Apollo hospital as the targeted chemotherapy was not available at AIIMS and a delay in decision could have been life threatening.

The further treatment was targeted chemotherapies which costed us approx 1 lac per cycle and 4 chemo cycles took place between March 21- May 21.

The PET CT tests resulted good and doctor told us to get the surgery done. I was operated on 24 June 21 for 6 hours and the surgery was a major one. We again spent approx 6 lacs on the surgery at Apollo hospital.

Doctors have advised for further Chemotherapy at NMC Superspeciality Hospital, Noida, Uttar Pradesh.

Post surgery, we met our oncologist when he recommended 18 more targeted chemo cycles which will again cost us 1 lac per cycle.

In the next few days, we need Rs.18,00,000. more for Chemotherapy and further treatment. Please come forward to support my cause.

This time, we are not sure how we will manage the treatment expenses when our household are getting disturbed.

We need support for my ongoing treatment which will help me recover and fight my illness.
