Heike's kidney cancer treatment fund
Supporting Heike through kidney cancer: medication, transport to Augsburg University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇩🇪 Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany1,778 views
Heike was diagnosed with kidney cancer in August. The oncology team at Augsburg University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Heike is 49, worked as a nurse 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 Augsburg 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $8,000 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $390
• Transport to Augsburg University Hospital: $600
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,010
Thank you for reading my story.

Get well soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from San Diego.
Keep going, Frieda. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
you're not alone, Frieda. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted
Thanks for sharing this, Frieda. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings.
stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Iztapalapa
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Nizamabad but we're thinking of you. Take care.
hope it all works out, Frieda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
