John's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting John through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to London Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom5,118 views
In January I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at London Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in May. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 55, I worked as a bakery worker until January, 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 London 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 $11,850 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,350
• Transport to London Cancer Centre: $740
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $400
• Household costs while unable to work: $860
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, John. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Ikeja.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
