Theodore was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in October. The oncology team at Birmingham Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in January. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Theodore is 40, worked as a construction supervisor until October, 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 Birmingham Regional Medical Center 2 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 $9,800 goes: • Scans and lab work: $550 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,250 • Transport to Birmingham Regional Medical Center: $770 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,230 Thanks for being kind about this. - Janet
