Rusika Khanna, a 46-year-old chartered accountant in Mumbai, is fighting several battles simultaneously. She has stage-three breast cancer that needed three surgeries in four years. She knows she can’t make it—the cancer is stubborn and she can’t afford the expensive targeted therapy that her oncologist had suggested. She has been dipping into her savings. Her resources are shrinking from her medical bills as well as those of her parents—a father with Alzheimer’s plus mom’s age-related ailments—and household expenses that includes children’s education. And then, she has a messy divorce suit to deal with: an abusive/uncaring husband, who doesn’t support her or their children.
