Standing with Autumn: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

In December I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Ottawa University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in March. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 52, I worked as a bakery worker until December, 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 Ottawa University Hospital 4 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,900 goes: • Transport to Ottawa University Hospital: $960 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $680 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,260 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Autumn
