Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Hudson afford treatment in Laval

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

Laval
In January I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Laval University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in April. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 58, I worked as a cleaner at a hospital until January, 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 Laval University Hospital 2 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 $6,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,300 • Scans and lab work: $560 • Transport to Laval University Hospital: $560 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $810 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,070 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Hudson

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($858 in total) I made the first payment toward transport to Laval University Hospital. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
