Help Sidsel Through Her Cancer Treatment

*UPDATE*: Thank you everyone - we have reached our goal for Sidsel! Please continue to contribute if you feel called - every extra penny will help Sidsel and her family the care they need.

***************************************

Sidsel is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and needs our support to get some extra care. Can you help?

What has happened?

In her first chemotherapy session, Sidsel sustained a rare injury - severe extravasation - caused by multiple mistakes on behalf of the nurses. It's resulted in a chemical burn in her arm and hand, which is challenging to heal, especially due to the recent mastectomy and removal of her lymph nodes.

What is the impact?

Seven weeks after the injury, the chemical burn is still active, growing and causing intense pain. Sidsel and her family are now looking at a month of arm operations, several hospitalisations, hopefully resulting in a successful skin transplant.

This means chemotherapy treatments are on pause, and will only resume when the injury wound is healed, and will then be followed by radiation therapy.

How can you help?

Sidsel is bringing immense heart and presence to these challenges, and this is an invitation to gather as a community around Sidsel and contribute our love in the form of practical healing support.

Together, we're aiming is to cover:

1. Weekly sessions with Sidsel's highly-skilled osteopath

2. Four sessions with a nutritionist who specialises in cancer

3. Bi-weekly Somatic Therapy sessions

This will support Sidsel's body to heal the injury and help her to be as strong and prepared as possible for the chemotherapy and radiation.

Can you contribute?

The amount we need to raise for Sidsel to have this support for the next six months is: €4300 (which is 32,000 Danish Kroner)

Each session costs between €53 to €255.

So a donation of €25 is 186 Danish Kroner

And a donation of €100 is 745 Danish Kroner

Any amount you are able to contribute would be gratefully received.

It would also be so helpful if you could forward this campaign onto anyone you know who knows and loves Sidsel. Thank you.

With love,

Sophie, on behalf of Sidsel and her family.
