Help me through 10 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Dundee Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇬🇧 Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom2,136 views
In February I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Dundee Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 36, I worked as a tailor until February, 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 Dundee Cancer Centre 4 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 $3,700 goes:
• Transport to Dundee Cancer Centre: $760
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,500
• Scans and lab work: $620
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $820
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Teresa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
you're not alone, Teresa. Wishing Teresa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together.
I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings!
