Standing with Isaac: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Isaac is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇬🇭 Ghana824 views
Isaac was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at the Madina Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Isaac is 54, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until July, 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 the Madina 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $220
• Transport to the Madina Oncology Institute: $75
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $55
• Household costs while unable to work: $150
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Joseph. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Thinking of you and your family, Joseph. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Gqeberha.
Best of luck, Joseph. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Thinking of you, Joseph. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
