Frank's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund

Dortmund
In August I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Dortmund Cancer Centre has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 4 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 45, I worked as a nurse until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Dortmund Cancer Centre 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $2,050 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $1,150 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $340 • Scans and lab work: $560 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
