Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Li afford treatment in San Diego

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

San Diego
Li was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at San Diego University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Li is 54, 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 San Diego University Hospital 5 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 $7,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,700 • Scans and lab work: $880 • Transport to San Diego University Hospital: $930 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $490 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,300 With deep gratitude, Xue

        Sending good thoughts, Xue. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          Wishing you peace, Xue. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

          • Chiamaka Akinwale

            wishing Li a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!

            • Renata E. NúñezQuestion

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Li.

              • Xue Xia SongOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

                Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($3,700) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

              Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Luxor donated after I showed her your page. Love from Luxor.

                Thinking of you, Xue. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.

                  Hope it all works out, Xue. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
