Eric Ekstrom's Cancer Fight
Donation protected
Two and a half years ago, Eric's cancer metastastisized to his hip, spine, and lung. After talking to doctors locally and in Houston at MD Anderson, Eric was told to go home, enjoy the few months he had to live, and to ease his pain, take hormone injections.
Not willing to accept that, Eric and Sue found a clinic in Germany that offered cancer treatments that were not approved in the United States. Unfortunately, each trip would be extremely expensive (over $35,000) and it would not be covered by insurance. So in April of 2014 and again in 2015, Eric and Sue made the decision to go to Germany and used their retirement funds to pay for the treatments.
It has been a year since Eric's last set of treatments and they are now left with the difficult decision of jeopardizing their financial future or foregoing the annual treatments that have presumably extended Eric's life far beyond any medical predictions.
We are asking you to help us raise as much as we can to enable Eric to continue his treatments in Germany.
Thank you!
