Busisiwe's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Stellenbosch Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Busisiwe was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Stellenbosch Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Busisiwe is 24, worked as a primary school teacher until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Stellenbosch Cancer Centre 2 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $310
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $890
• Household costs while unable to work: $240
• Transport to Stellenbosch Cancer Centre: $260
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing Busisiwe a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Busisiwe.
Sending love, Suren. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Love from Lagos.
Thinking of you, Suren. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Sending strength, Suren. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
