Standing with Franziska: colon cancer treatment costs
Franziska is facing colon cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇩🇪 Leipzig, Saxony, Germany4,628 views
Franziska was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Leipzig Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Franziska is 29, worked as a bakery worker until May, 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 Leipzig Cancer Centre 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,800 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,100
• Scans and lab work: $1,450
• Transport to Leipzig Cancer Centre: $450
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,220
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Klaus. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Adama.
Sending love, Klaus. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Thinking of you, Klaus. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Klaus. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
