Markus was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at Dortmund University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Markus is 38, worked as a hairdresser until August, 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 Dortmund University Hospital 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 $6,900 goes: • Scans and lab work: $830 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,100 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,600 • Transport to Dortmund University Hospital: $370 Thanks for being kind about this. - Katharina

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

    • Monika Marlene Keller

      Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Markus a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

      • Patricia D. Castillo

        So sorry you're going through this, Katharina. This could happen to any of us. God bless.

        • Michelle Bell

          Stay strong, Katharina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 17 people at work. All the best.

          • Thanh Quỳnh Quach

            thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
