Standing with Keisha: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Keisha through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇯🇲 Half-Way Tree, Saint Andrew, Jamaica446 views
In June I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 42, I worked as a nurse until June, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,750
• Transport to Half-Way Tree Regional Medical Center: $155
• Scans and lab work: $445
Thanks for reading all this.

Stay strong, Keisha. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Colombo donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Colombo.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Keisha?
Thank you. If you're in Half-Way Tree I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Hang in there, Keisha. Hope you get there. Sent it to 30 people at work. Thinking of Half-Way Tree.
