In all this talk of "antibody-drug conjugates" in the city hospitals, for us it just means a hope we cannot afford. The doctor said this trastuzumab is like a smart bomb for cancer, but its cost is another disease for families like ours. My neighbour's sister took it in Hyderabad and they sold their land for the treatment, only for her to struggle to breathe later—the lung problems you ask about.
It worked for her cancer but broke their home. My small terrace garden in paint buckets teaches me that even strong medicine, when it’s not rooted in our reality, can wilt a family's future. How do you balance such a fragile hope?
