Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Nathan afford treatment in Montpellier
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Montpellier University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In July I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Montpellier University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 41, I worked as a bakery worker 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 Montpellier University Hospital 3 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 $5,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,800
• Scans and lab work: $710
• Transport to Montpellier University Hospital: $440
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $250
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,050

Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($684). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward scans and lab work.

Keep going, Nathan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Greetings from San Diego
Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Montpellier.
Rooting for you, Nathan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. Love from Augsburg
Sending good thoughts, Nathan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Badagry.
