Adam's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Adam is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world3,212 views
In July I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Radom Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 46, I worked as a nurse until July, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Radom Cancer Centre 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,150
• Scans and lab work: $490
• Transport to Radom Cancer Centre: $350
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $260
• Household costs while unable to work: $450

how is Adam doing now?
Sending love, Adam. I hope things turn around soon. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Lahore.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Radom.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adam.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($2,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thinking of you and your family, Adam. Get well soon.
praying for you. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Radom
Thank you. If you're in Radom I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Best of luck. Get well soon. Greetings from São Paulo.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hang in there, Adam. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Dortmund so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Los Angeles.
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
praying for you, Adam. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Boston this morning. Thinking of Radom.
Sending good thoughts, Adam. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Good luck, Adam. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
