Help Erik through 6 rounds of treatment for prostate cancer
6 rounds of treatment are planned at The Hague Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇳🇱 The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands5,995 views
Erik was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at The Hague Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Erik is 24, worked as a construction supervisor until June, 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 The Hague Cancer Centre 2 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 $11,300 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,450
• Transport to The Hague Cancer Centre: $1,150
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,820
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

praying for you, Nina. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from East London
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Erik.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($6,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you the best, Nina. Wishing Erik a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Jodhpur
