Standing with Sophia: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

Sophia is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Sophia was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Stuttgart Cancer Centre has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Sophia is 35, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Stuttgart 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $6,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,500 • Scans and lab work: $630 • Transport to Stuttgart Cancer Centre: $350 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $300 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,470 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Matthias
