Silvia's non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund

Silvia is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Silvia was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at the Zapopan Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Silvia is 39, worked as a primary school teacher 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 the Zapopan 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 her shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $3,300 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,650 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $90 • Transport to the Zapopan Oncology Institute: $270 • Scans and lab work: $290 Thank you so much. - Pablo

  • Rooting for you, Pablo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up.

    • Sending love. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 21 people at work!

      • You're not alone, Pablo. Wishing Silvia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

        • Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Zapopan.
