Standing with Bennett: multiple myeloma treatment costs
Supporting Bennett through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to Tampa University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇺🇸 United States2,153 views
Bennett was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in June. The oncology team at Tampa University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Bennett is 44, 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 him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Tampa University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $10,250 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750
• Scans and lab work: $1,150
• Transport to Tampa University Hospital: $760
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $590
I hope life is good to you.
- Hazel

Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Sheffield but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Arlington!
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 15 people at work. Blessings.
Praying for you, Hazel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Alexandria this morning.
