Standing with Lisa: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Munich Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Lisa was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at Munich Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Lisa is 29, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Munich Cancer Centre 2 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 $11,150 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,750 • Scans and lab work: $620 • Transport to Munich Cancer Centre: $790 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $810 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,180 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Marie

    • Sending love, Marie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 9 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything

      • what exactly is the $11,150 for?

        • Marie Leni BöhmOwnerAnswer

          Sure. The biggest one is chemotherapy and medication not covered, $7,750. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
