Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Geneviève afford treatment in Laval
Geneviève is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

In August I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at the Laval Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 27, I worked as a construction supervisor 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 the Laval Oncology Institute 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 $7,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,850
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $510
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,550
• Transport to the Laval Oncology Institute: $690
Thanks for reading all this.
