Help Rylee through 6 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Arlington Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Arlington
Rylee was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Arlington Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Rylee is 38, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 Arlington Regional Medical Center 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550 • Scans and lab work: $600 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,200 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    what's already covered and what's the $8,350 for?

    • Gerald SantiagoOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $5,000. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.

    Hope things get better soon, Gerald. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

    • Skylar L. MejiaQuestion

      Any update on how things are going in Arlington?

      • Clara T. Dominguez

        shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!

        • Cường Hậu Lam

          Stay strong, Gerald. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best

          • Nikhil G. Maurya

            So sorry you're going through this, Gerald. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 11 people at work. Thinking of Arlington!
