"Last week, my friend was experiencing major neck pain, swelling, and started to notice her left arm turning blue. We went to the ER thinking that she had a blood clot somewhere.

After many tests, procedures, biopsies, and a few nights in the hospital, the doctors diagnosed her with Hodgkins Lymphoma. The current recommended treatment for her is chemotherapy and radiation, which is to start in 2 weeks. In order for her to have both of these treatments, she is also required to have a PET scan, echocardiogram, PFT (pulmonary function test), and a port placement. She has also been recommended to undergo oocyte retrieval (freezing her eggs), as chemo will damage her fertility.

Unfortunately, at this juncture, she does not have insurance. As we all know, medical bills can be extremely costly, especially ones at this magnitude. While Hodgkins Lymphoma is a treatable cancer, without proper chemo and radiation, her prognosis will decline.

She needs assistance with her upcoming medical bills. As stressful as her diagnosis is, the stress of not being able to pay for her treatment is causing more of an uproar."
