Help me through 6 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Rita is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Madina

In May I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Madina Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 38, I worked as a nurse until May, 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 Madina Cancer Centre 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 $1,600 goes: • Transport to Madina Cancer Centre: $100 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Scans and lab work: $210 • Household costs while unable to work: $140 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Rita
