Help Bas through 6 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer

Bas is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Bas was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in April. The oncology team at Amsterdam University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Bas is 24, worked as a nurse until April, 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 Amsterdam 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $5,400 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $810 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,340 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Ingrid

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($4,148 in total) the plan for chemotherapy and medication not covered is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,648 in total) I made the first payment toward chemotherapy and medication not covered. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
