Supporting Sven through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Rotterdam Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.

Sven was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November. The oncology team at Rotterdam Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in February. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Sven is 36, worked as a bank teller until November, 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 Rotterdam Regional Medical Center 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $10,350 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,250 • Scans and lab work: $1,350 • Transport to Rotterdam Regional Medical Center: $550 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $660 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,540 Thanks for being kind about this. - Kees

        It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $6,250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
