Fighting Hodgkin lymphoma: help Sophie afford treatment in Berlin
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Berlin Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany3,379 views
Sophie was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Berlin Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Sophie is 48, worked as a tailor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Berlin Cancer Centre 4 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $9,150 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750
• Scans and lab work: $850
• Transport to Berlin Cancer Centre: $390
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,790
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you and your family, Oskar. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope things get better soon, Oskar. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update.
Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Oskar. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. Love from Nagpur
