Standing with Lin: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Lin was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in March. The oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Lin is 39, worked as a primary school teacher until March, 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 Los Angeles Regional Medical Center 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 $12,200 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,000 • Household costs while unable to work: $2,250 • Transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center: $1,100 • Scans and lab work: $1,850 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Ying
