But it wasn't nearly enough. So they turned to the internet.
"For some families, it's starting to feels like an obligation, 'If you haven't tried this, are you a good parent?'Some relatives say their families have been ripped apart by the pressure of trying to meet rising bills. The Hallwang is by far the most high profile, catering to British patients as well as others from the US, Australia and the Middle East.
It offers patients alternative or"complementary" therapies, though it says this is a small part of its work, alongside medical treatments not always available on the NHS. One family told BBC News they had been charged £45,000 for a series of five vaccine injections developed by analysing an individual tumour.
But there is no way to tell whether the Hallwang extends or improves most of its patients' lives - because it does not publish outcome data. Gemma made seven visits to Germany in total, in 2017 and early 2018, paying on average about £60,000 for each round of treatment.Gemma was travelling abroad for treatment every three weeks
“My daughter opted not to have treatment on NHS when it might have helped, instead waiting and then asking strangers to fund her trips to Germany for some dodgy unproven remedies which unsurprisingly failed to save her life” There, fixed it
The same thing happened to my sister .please trust your doctor my sister didn't went down the alternative road we buried her in January she had two children not at secondary school yet
I am so sorry for your loss.
Well Helen Sproates it did happen and your begging didn't help then hey
BREAKING: Crowdfunding removed from list of potential cures for cancer.
Where's our NHS?!!!
The Germans have previous for 'Quack' cancer treatment centre's. Read Lillian Board's biography 'Lillian' for the evidence...
This very upset mother going through this. Sorry for lost. My prayers go out all family and friends.
So sad . What mother wouldn't do everything she could for her daughter? People shouldn't have to look elsewhere.
Highly sceptical of Hallwang. Have helped with several funds for people to go there and not one has even gained much more time and none survived. You have to try but vitamin infusions won't help. Ashya King had proton beam therapy, a different level of expectation altogether.
Very sad story and sorry for the family. However, it proves once again that free healthcare is not the be all end all that liberals think it is. Plus, it is ridiculous that those rich liberal actors just didn't pay for it. It would be like giving 10 bucks each if split up.
I'm very sorry for this mother who has lost her daughter. And for the daughter who has lost her mother. Somehow, we must find a cure for cancer.
She should have went to St Jude’s. Parents don’t pay for treatment there
I'm sorry. I do get that.
