Assisting in securing critical cancer treatment and care
A trusted family friend is creating this fundraiser to assist in securing medical care for my dear friend’s beloved sister, who was recently diagnosed with lymphoma, most likely DLBCL (Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma). This heartbreaking news has deeply affected everyone who loves her.
She is now facing urgent medical needs, including PET/CT scans, blood tests, medical examinations, chemotherapy, and supportive medications before, during, and after treatment.
Because her care will take place in Lebanon, where cancer treatment costs are extremely high, her family is under enormous financial pressure and is struggling to cover these expenses on their own. To respect the family’s privacy, her identity is not being shared publicly, but the need is very real and urgent.
Expected costs are approximate and may vary depending on her final diagnosis, treatment plan, medications, and medical needs:
| Medical Expense Item | Estimated Cost Range (USD) |
|---|---|
| R-CHOP treatment medications (12 sessions) | $18,000 – $42,000 |
| Pegfilgrastim (if required) | $3,600 – $7,200 |
| Anti-nausea and supportive medications | $600 – $1,800 |
| Blood tests and laboratory work | $960 – $2,400 |
| Doctor fees and chemotherapy/day-care administration | $4,800 – $10,800 |
| Additional medications for home | $500 – $1,500 |
| PET/CT scan (Before treatment) | $700 – $1,200 |
| PET/CT scan (During treatment) | $700 – $1,200 |
| PET/CT scan (After treatment) | $700 – $1,200 |
| Estimated Total Range | $30,560 – $68,100 |
For transparency, funds will be received in the US by a trusted family friend and securely transferred to support her treatment expenses in Lebanon.
