Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Lincoln afford treatment in Perth

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

Perth
In July I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Perth Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 24, I worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 Perth Cancer Centre 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 $3,250 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550 • Transport to Perth Cancer Centre: $430 • Scans and lab work: $550 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,720 Thanks for being kind about this. - Lincoln

          Thank you. If you're in Perth I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

          Keep going, Lincoln. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

            Sending strength, Lincoln. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
