Standing with Marcus: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Marcus is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Manchester
Marcus was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Manchester Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Marcus is 42, worked as a bank teller until August, 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 Manchester Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,550 • Transport to Manchester Regional Medical Center: $820 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $470 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,460 Glad we found this place. - Jade
