Fighting kidney cancer: help Nicolas afford treatment in Nice
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Nice University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇫🇷 Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France6,646 views
Nicolas was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September. The oncology team at Nice University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks.
Nicolas is 40, worked as a nurse until September, 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 Nice University Hospital 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $7,700 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,250
• Scans and lab work: $460
• Transport to Nice University Hospital: $350
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,300

Praying for you, Marie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nicolas.
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $5,250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
how is Nicolas doing now?
Wishing Nicolas a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
You're not alone, Marie. Shared it with a few friends.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal.
Keep going, Marie. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
sending strength, Marie. Gave what I could, wish it was more
keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
your post was clear and honest. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
