\n“I was diagnosed with cancer in August 2016, when it had already entered
\nstage four. Despite checking my health often at the doctor’s, the cancer had
\nmanaged to hide itself around the corner, so to speak. I went through radiation
\ntherapy, followed by the supporting chemotherapy. Those were tough times
\nphysically.
<\/i>
\nMy treating physician was optimistic that it was going to stop there. But in
\nOctober this year we found out the sad truth that the metastases had spread to
\nother organs and new tumours had appeared.
<\/i>
\nThis news knocked our entire family off their feet, but my decision to not give
\nup just yet and to not die before my time and the support of my loving family
\nand their strong hugs gave me strength to go on with treatment. It turned out
\nthat a medication named Avastin could also help me, but sadly the Health
\nInsurance Fund does not compensate this in the case of my diagnosis.
<\/i>
\nAs a last resort, we decided to ask for the aid of the Gift of Life Cancer
\nTreatment Foundation. All of my family cheered when the foundation gave us a
\npositive reply. This means that I can see my son graduating basic school and
\nhopefully his upper secondary school graduation as well. I can congratulate my
\ndaughter for receiving her bachelor’s degree and then her master’s degree. I
\nwill hopefully see my grandchildren as well and grow old with my loving
\nhusband.
<\/i>
\nIn a word, I can spend as much time as possible with my family, relatives and
\nfriends \u2013 people dear to me.
<\/i>
\nI truly appreciate all the supporters, because it is thanks to you that the
\nGift of Life can support those in need.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n“I would like to thank you and all the kind benefactors for supporting my
\ntreatment this time. I have been facing this terrible disease for nearly a
\ndecade now. After a major surgery I received iodine therapy several times that
\nseemed promising initially, but eventually failed to show the desired results.
<\/i>
\nThree years ago I had to undergo another surgery. After that the situation
\nbecame somewhat more stabilised, but the examination carried out last year
\nrevealed that the disease had relapsed. The treating physician decided to try
\nout a new medication that was partially compensated by the Health Insurance
\nFund. A two-month treatment showed that the medication worked really well.
\nAfter a break of one year I needed yet another treatment, but without the
\nfoundation’s support it would have been really complicated.
<\/i>
\nIn order to not be only at the receiving end and understanding that the
\nfoundation may be the last hope for many cancer patients, my family and I have
\nalso become regular benefactors for the foundation, thus making our own little
\ncontribution for some people in need.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
