Maximilian's prostate cancer treatment fund

12 rounds of treatment are planned at the Hannover Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Hannover
In April I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My oncology team at the Hannover Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 38, I worked as a farmer until April, 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 the Hannover Oncology Institute 4 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $8,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,000 • Scans and lab work: $1,300 • Transport to the Hannover Oncology Institute: $520 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $550 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,080 Thank you so much.

    what exactly is the $8,450 for?

    • Maximilian FischerOwnerAnswerID verified

      Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $5,000 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
