Standing with Hermann: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

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

Hermann was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Munich Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Hermann is 40, worked as a taxi driver 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 Munich Regional Medical Center 3 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 $9,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,200 • Transport to Munich Regional Medical Center: $730 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $520 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,350 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • best of luck, Monika. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

      what's already covered and what's the $9,800 for?

      • It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $6,000, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

    • Hope things get better soon, Monika. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Munich.

      • Hope things get better soon, Monika. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from London.

        • It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Yekaterinburg donated after I showed her your page

          • Hope it all works out, Monika. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

            • Take care. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Columbia.
