Standing with Kendall: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Columbia Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇺🇸 Missouri, United States8,573 views
Kendall was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Columbia Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Kendall is 40, worked as a taxi driver until August, 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 Columbia Cancer Centre 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,950 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,250
• Scans and lab work: $760
• Transport to Columbia Cancer Centre: $600
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $890
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,450
I hope life is good to you.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 18 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page. Love from San Diego
Take care, Gerald. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings
