Standing with Qian: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Qian through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Hamilton Cancer Centre, and living costs while She can't work.
🇨🇦 Canada2,119 views
Qian was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in June. The oncology team at Hamilton Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Qian is 30, worked as a farmer until June, 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 Hamilton Cancer Centre 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 $2,650 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $600
• Household costs while unable to work: $960
• Scans and lab work: $1,090
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Qian
