Standing with Bennett: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Hobart Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇦🇺 Tasmania, Australia6,023 views
Bennett was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Hobart Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Bennett is 40, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Hobart Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $10,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750
• Scans and lab work: $760
• Transport to Hobart Cancer Centre: $470
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $450
• Household costs while unable to work: $920
Thanks for being kind about this.
