Fleur 2.0: Support a Cancer Survivor’s Healing Journey and Treatment Fund

Dear All,

I am Fleur Groot-Veldman. I am 36 years old. I am married and have 3 wonderful children. And what I really want is to be Fleur 2.0.

I’m going to tell you what that means now.

We start in September 2020.

During the pregnancy of our third, I got a lot of stomach pain and felt a lump in my stomach. The gynecologist blamed my big pregnancy belly. “Your intestines just have less space.” So I expected to be relieved of the terrible pains I had after giving birth. Unfortunately that was not the case, in fact it got worse. So much so that I had myself ‘checked’ several times and each time I was sent home with the advice to take laxatives, because I was just constipated. Until I came to the hospital for the umpteenth time and indicated that I didn’t want to go home before it was resolved. The next day they went to do an ultrasound anyway, for the first time that real research was done. There I turned out to be closed in my intestine, I had an emergency operation where they removed a third of my colon. After that I got Corona in the hospital and had to be quarantined. No one then explained to me what it could be and I was greeted with a “enjoy your leave!” sent home. After a few days I received a call from the surgeon. I had to come to the hospital immediately, because it was wrong. They had removed an 11 cm tumor. Together with my husband and our 6 week old daughter I went to the hospital. There I had a horrible conversation, in which they told me what was wrong. After several examinations, I was told that I was receiving preventive chemotherapy, because there was nothing left to see.

After the intense period of chemo’s I got the 3 monthly checkups. I was fine. Few complaints from the chemotherapy and I had recovered well from the operation. At a checkup in January they found out that the tumor markers were elevated. I was totally upset, because I felt great! Unfortunately it was not great, there was another tumor. This time at the site of my cesarean section. They had used my C-section to remove the previous tumor. I was on immunotherapy until the summer and then I would have surgery. So I expected to be done with this story in the summer. Unfortunately, during the operation it turned out to be more serious than expected and they closed me up after removing my ovaries. I had to go to the VU for a major abdominal operation where they removed all the diseased tissue, removed the uterus, separated and connected the intestines, changed leg muscle into abdominal muscle and including chemotherapy. And until then I received chemotherapy. I was sick to death from the chemo. After the major abdominal surgery in November, everything seemed to be going well. I recovered wonderfully well and actually too quickly. Until they saw in December that there were spots again. This time spots that were already there afterwards, but had not been picked up. If these had been picked up I would not have had abdominal surgery I was told. I saw that as a ‘it has to be this way’ story. I had to go back on immunotherapy. After this hospital visit I thought there must be more. I started googling and got more and more tips on what I could do. I’ve done so many things and learned so many things and I feel great!! This is partly because I have done things like: Quantum Touch, hypnosis sessions, visit to the homeopath, the healing journey, mediumship and intuition courses, meditate with Dr. Joe Dispenza, etc. Super interesting and very helpful for me and my process. Now I am also working on hyperthermia treatments to support immune therapy. With hyperthermia they actually do the opposite of a cooling hood in the hospital with which they ensure that your hair does not fall out. They heat my stomach to 42.5 degrees because at 39 degrees cancer cells die and healthy cells only at 50 degrees. And because when heated your veins become wider and therefore more active substance passes through. So the immunotherapy works better. So a combi deal. Fortunately, I don’t feel anything at all from the treatments.

Unfortunately, the reality is that all treatments that I receive next to the hospital are hardly or not reimbursed at all. And so are these scientifically proven hyperthermia treatments. I pay €320 per treatment and have to go 2 times per immune therapy course for the best result. That is €640 per 3 weeks. In addition, because I haven’t been able to do my full job as a teacher for a year in August (because I’m still recovering and still have to go to physio etc regularly), my salary is being cut. So the reality is that because I have this I have lost a lot of money to be able to live happily and healthy again. I find it so hard to comprehend that my recovery depends on hard euros! I struggle a bit with that idea and then I was advised by several sides to set up a go fund. “Just do it” “Why wouldn’t you?” Somewhere because I like to just manage it myself, but the reality is that slowly but surely that is less and less possible.

I am a kind of bionicle woman with a leg muscle in my stomach and an anatomy that is no longer correct. But above all I am Fleur 2.0 who would love to join this party here on earth for a long time to come! I want to do cool things with my kids, husband and family. I want to be able to go out with my girlfriends if possible. And that is less and less possible, not because I am not doing well…. But financially. The money I raise is for the treatments in the coming time and what else I will be doing in the future.

So with this….. you think it’s great to support Fleur 2.0 a little…. Here’s my GoFundMe!

I know this is not ′′ necessary ′′ but: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart
