Megan's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Supporting Megan through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Pretoria Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa1,167 views
Megan was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Pretoria Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Megan is 28, worked as a bus conductor until June, 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 Pretoria Cancer Centre 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 $2,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,400
• Scans and lab work: $450
• Transport to Pretoria Cancer Centre: $185
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200
• Household costs while unable to work: $465
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Hendrik
Small update. $466 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($181). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward scans and lab work.

Wishing you the best, Hendrik. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Megan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
You're not alone. Wishing Megan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Adama.
Best of luck, Hendrik. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless.
