Standing with Sanne: thyroid cancer treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at The Hague Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

The Hague
In May I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at The Hague Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in September. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 32, I worked as a bank teller until May, 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 Hague Regional Medical Center 2 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. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $7,150 goes: • Transport to The Hague Regional Medical Center: $550 • Scans and lab work: $1,100 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,500 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
