Standing with Nneka: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Nneka is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇳🇬 Nigeria252 views
Nneka was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in September. The oncology team at Ikeja University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Nneka is 49, worked as a bank teller until September, 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 Ikeja University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $950 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $140
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $685
With deep gratitude,
Nkechi

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Prayagraj.
Rooting for you, Nkechi. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Good luck, Nkechi. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Patna but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from San Francisco.
Hang in there, Nkechi. Hope you get there
