Standing with Rodrigo: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Rodrigo was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at the Barcelona Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Rodrigo is 35, worked as a taxi driver until May, 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 the Barcelona 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 his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $5,900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,550 • Scans and lab work: $870 • Transport to the Barcelona Oncology Institute: $680 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,460 Glad we found this place.
