Fighting multiple myeloma: help Renate afford treatment in Stuttgart

Supporting Renate through multiple myeloma: medication, transport to the Stuttgart Oncology Institute, and living costs while She can't work.

Stuttgart
Renate was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in May. The oncology team at the Stuttgart Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks. Renate is 57, worked as a bank teller until May, 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 the Stuttgart Oncology Institute 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,700 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,250 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000 • Transport to the Stuttgart Oncology Institute: $910 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $540 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Sebastian

          is there anything that isn't money that would help Renate?

          • Sebastian MaierOwnerAnswerAddress verified

            Thank you. If you're in Stuttgart I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.

            • Oleksandr Alexander SidorovQuestion

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Renate.

              • Sebastian MaierOwnerAnswerAddress verified

                Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($1,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.

              sending strength, Sebastian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.

                Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Kota so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Stuttgart

                  Shared it with a few friends. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
