In the Netherlands, around 80.000 new cancer patients are diagnosed every year. Nowadays several types of cancer can be treated, and research makes more progress everyday in finding new ways of helping the patients.

Unfortunately, the most experimental treatments are not always supported by the insurances, despites proves of good results.

With your help, the Foundation Erik Hoogveld (Stichting Erik Hoogveld) will give Erik Hoogveld another chance of getting cured and improve his quality of life. In the future; the foundation would also like to help other cancer patients in the need. The costs of the treatment Erik is now starting are of 30.000 euros for the first 6 months. If it is successful, he will do it again and we would have to gather 100.00 euros in the coming 2 years.

Help us, help Erik, help them!

As scheduled, Erik will be very busy with the treatment during the whole month of January.
He will be going twice a week to Germany for hyper-thermy sessions and also for another dendritic cell injection. So, next week, he will be going for hyper-thermy on Tuesday, and for the injection on saturday.

Erik has been able to drive the 3 hours from Amsterdam, on his own almost everytime. But, because of the weather, the fatigue and sometimes the pain, it is not safe anymore for him to go alone. The fundation is now arranging that volunteers can go and drive with/for him.
