Amiens
Julien was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Amiens Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Julien is 56, worked as a construction supervisor until July, 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 Amiens Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,950 goes: β€’ Scans and lab work: $460 β€’ Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450 β€’ Household costs while unable to work: $1,040 Glad we found this place.

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

      Sure. The biggest one is scans and lab work, $460. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up

    • How is Julien doing now?

      • Best of luck, Brigitte. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Sakai so I could bring a meal. Love from Liverpool.

            So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything!

            • Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

              • good luck, Brigitte. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Riverside.

                • Hope this works out for you. Love from Islamabad

                  • Sending love, Brigitte. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.

                    • Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings

                      • Sending good thoughts, Brigitte. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
