Susana's Hodgkin lymphoma treatment fund
Susana is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇲🇽 Mexico2,217 views
In May I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Guadalajara University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in August. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 44, I worked as a farmer until May, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Guadalajara University Hospital 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Scans and lab work: $280
• Transport to Guadalajara University Hospital: $155
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $270
• Household costs while unable to work: $395
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best. Get well soon. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Nashik
Wishing you the best, Susana. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Praying for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Susana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Guadalajara.
Sending good thoughts, Susana. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Sending strength, Susana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Susana. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
