Deanna needs chemotherapy
My name is Deanna and I’m a 27 year old case manager for children with behavioral health issues. I was unfortunately diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma stage 3a, and need to receive a chemotherapy treatment called R-CHOP. This includes the medications Rituximab, Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, and Prednisone. On top of the cost of chemo drugs, they are prescribing other medications to fight nausea and other side effects. Additionally, I still have the costs of my diagnostic tests, such as my biopsy.
I will also be taking unpaid days from my main job for treatment appointments and recovery, and due to COVID-19, I have lost extra income from my second job.
This is a hard time for a lot of people, but any contribution is greatly appreciated.
