Help Tanvir through 10 rounds of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma
Tanvir is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,934 views
Tanvir was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in February. The oncology team at the London Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in May. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Tanvir is 55, worked as a shop owner until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the London Oncology Institute 4 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550
• Scans and lab work: $610
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,790
If you're reading this, thank you.

what exactly is the $4,950 for?
Sure. The biggest one is nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team, $550. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing Tanvir a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Manila
You're not alone, Sharmila. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Ekurhuleni
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tanvir?
Thank you. If you're in London I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
how is Tanvir doing now?
Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 39 people at work.
hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Warsaw.
best of luck, Sharmila. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
