Help Nomsa through 10 rounds of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma

10 rounds of treatment are planned at the Johannesburg Oncology Institute; we are asking for help with the costs insurance does not cover.

Nomsa was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at the Johannesburg Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks. Nomsa is 41, worked as a bus conductor until May, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Johannesburg Oncology Institute 2 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,650 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,850 • Scans and lab work: $165 • Transport to the Johannesburg Oncology Institute: $135 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $405 Glad we found this place.
