Fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma: help Tong afford treatment in Fort Worth

Supporting Tong through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Fort Worth University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.

Fort Worth
In September I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Fort Worth University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 28, I worked as a farmer until September, 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 Fort Worth University Hospital 2 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 $11,350 goes: • Scans and lab work: $1,600 • Transport to Fort Worth University Hospital: $560 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $670 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,520 Every share and every dollar helps.

            Hope things get better soon, Tong. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
