Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Leo afford treatment in Joliet
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Joliet Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 United States1,724 views
Leo was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in October. The oncology team at Joliet Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Leo is 43, worked as a tailor until October, 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 Joliet 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 $10,100 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $750
• Transport to Joliet Regional Medical Center: $630
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $970
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Hanoi
Sending good thoughts, Denise. Wishing Leo a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Rooting for you, Denise. Hope this works out for you. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
you're not alone, Denise. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I hope December is when things finally get easier
