Angela's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Angela is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Lecce
In August I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Lecce Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 57, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, 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 Lecce Regional Medical Center 3 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 $5,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to Lecce Regional Medical Center: $370 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460 • Household costs while unable to work: $770 Thank you so much.

    Rooting for you, Angela. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Jennifer G. Griffin

      Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Anaheim so I could bring a meal.

          Thank you. If you're in Lecce I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

          Rooting for you, Angela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lecce.

          • Rani W. Grewal

            Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best

            • Ananya T. Rathnam

              Sending good thoughts, Angela. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Take care.

              • Zubair Bilal Ismail

                Wishing Angela a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best

                  So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Ikeja so I could bring a meal. Blessings
