Julia was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Nottingham University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Julia is 40, worked as a nurse until July, 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 Nottingham University Hospital 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,150 goes: • Transport to Nottingham University Hospital: $460 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,000 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,440 Thanks for being kind about this.

    So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Nottingham

    • Wishing Julia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Pune.

      • Is transport to Nottingham University Hospital the biggest cost or is there more coming?

        • Leo R. BishopOwnerAnswer

          Transport to Nottingham University Hospital is $460 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • Keep going, Leo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side

        • Wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you

          • Hope things get better soon, Leo. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you
