Standing with Amanda: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

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

Santos
In June I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Santos Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 8 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 44, I worked as a primary school teacher until June, 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 Santos 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 $2,750 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,550 • Scans and lab work: $195 • Transport to Santos Cancer Centre: $145 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $190 • Household costs while unable to work: $670 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Amanda
