Standing with Cynthia: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Cynthia is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇧 Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom7,281 views
Cynthia was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at the Cardiff Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Cynthia is 32, worked as a farmer 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 Cardiff 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 $8,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500
• Scans and lab work: $760
• Transport to the Cardiff Oncology Institute: $780
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570
• Household costs while unable to work: $990
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Cardiff.
