Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Gabriel afford treatment in Sydney
12 rounds of treatment are planned at Sydney Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia1,863 views
Gabriel was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at Sydney Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Gabriel is 55, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Sydney Regional Medical Center 4 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $10,100 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,800
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $810
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,490
Thank you for reading my story.

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Fort Collins donated after I showed her your page. Love from Fort Collins.
What's already covered and what's the $10,100 for?
It's all in the list in the story. scans and lab work is the big one at $1,800, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this, Lucy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Thinking of you and your family, Lucy. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
