ECE is fighting cancer: a fundraising campaign for single mother in Coburg!

Coburg, Deutschland - The situation of ECE, a 33-year-old single mother from Coburg, is dramatic. In October last year she received the shocking diagnosis of cervical cancer, a day before her daughter celebrated her second birthday. At that time, a five centimeter tumor had formed, which could not be removed. This aggressive form of the disease caused ECE to start with chemotherapy in the University Hospital Erlangen immediately, followed by radio therapy.

chemotherapy was an enormous burden for ECE that it did not take well. This not only led to shifts of follow -up treatments, but also to necessary blood transfusions. After the first treatment cycle, the tumor could be reduced, but this hope was short -lived. Metastases were diagnosed in the peritoneum, which significantly worsened the forecast. ECE's life expectancy is now estimated to be about six months, while well -tolerated chemotherapy could grant it up to two years. Officially, ECE was classified as a palliative patient, which underlines the seriousness of her situation.

support from the community

In this difficult time, ECES sister -in -law, Katharina Güngör, launched a donation campaign to support her sister. The financial resources collected should be used for:

• Support for hospital stays for the accompanying family.
• Housekeeping so that ECE can concentrate on your health and time with your daughter.
• Family time for excursions and special moments, provided that it allows health condition.

Da ECE lives from sick pay, she also has to struggle with financial burdens from her illness. In such a situation, many affected people are under pressure to take care of the financial aspects of their treatment. Information on the assumption of costs can be obtained from treating doctors and health insurance. As the Cancer information service , the care on palliative stations is billed as inpatient treatment, while home nursing can be prescribed by doctors.

In the current situation of ECE, it is crucial that not only medical, but also social and psychological support is tangible. Clinic social services and regional cancer advice centers offer valuable help, especially with regard to social law issues.

The decision for palliative care means that ECES focuses on needs. A loving and respectful care can make your remaining life more human and more enjoyable. It remains to be hoped that there will be enough support from the community to assist ECE in this difficult time, while the donation campaign continues to grow. The use of ECES family and friends is a ray of hope in the darkness of their illness.
