Standing with Michelle: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Michelle through non-Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to the Calamba Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.
🇵🇭 Calamba, Laguna, Philippines2,284 views
Michelle was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Calamba Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Michelle is 35, worked as a hairdresser 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 the Calamba Oncology Institute 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Household costs while unable to work: $225
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
