Terry was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in May. The oncology team at Durham Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Terry is 57, worked as a cleaner at a hospital 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 Durham Cancer Centre 5 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $4,200 goes: • Transport to Durham Cancer Centre: $1,150 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,350 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $700 Thanks for being kind about this. - Liam

  • Hope things get better soon, Liam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in St. Petersburg this morning. Thinking of Durham.

    • Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Durham.

        Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
