Malkeet Kaur, 55, travels 60 km each day to Kalianwali in the heart of Haryana’s cotton belt to undergo radiation therapy at the Advanced Cancer Diagnostic, Treatment and Research Centre in Bathinda.

A resident of Kaali Mali village in the Sirsa district, the mother of four was diagnosed with breast cancer in her right breast in April this year. She now goes for radiotherapy five days a week to remove the last of the cancer cells in her body.

“Our lives were normal until my wife complained of some issues in April. We were lucky the cancer was diagnosed at a controllable stage,” said Nachattar Singh, a retired bank employee.

The family spent more than Rs 4 lakh on the surgery at a private hospital in Bathinda, following which they chose radiotherapy at a government centre, where it cost them Rs 15,000 for eight weeks course, compared to Rs 80,000 to Rs 1.5 lakh at a private hospital. The travel costs them an additional Rs 400 a day.
