Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Seyi afford treatment in Lagos
Supporting Seyi through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Lagos Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria814 views
In April I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Lagos Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 44, I worked as a nurse until April, 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 Lagos Regional Medical Center 4 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 $700 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Household costs while unable to work: $300
• Transport to Lagos Regional Medical Center: $90
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Seyi. Hope you get there. Love from Milan.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Springfield.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Iztapalapa.
