Standing with Yann: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Yann was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at the Lyon Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Yann is 49, worked as a shop owner 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 Lyon Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $8,300 goes: • Scans and lab work: $870 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250 • Transport to the Lyon Oncology Institute: $810 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Véronique
