<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Avec son épouse Noémie, Nicolas Bergeron, 46 ans (18 oct.), affronte avec courage un cancer rare et agressif… mais ils ne peuvent plus y arriver seuls.</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Pendant six longs mois, Nicolas a consulté à répétition pour des symptômes inquiétants que le système de santé n’a pas pris au sérieux, <strong>faute de médecin de famille</strong>. Durant ces mois perdus, le cancer progressait en silence.
</div>
<div><strong>Le 8 octobre 2024, tout a basculé.</strong> Nicolas a consulté d’urgence à l’hôpital dans un état critique : ses voies biliaires étaient bloquées par la tumeur et la bile s’accumulait dans son organisme, atteignant des niveaux mortels. Ce jour-là, le verdict est tombé :<strong> un cholangiocarcinome hilaire métastatique de stade 4 (tumeur de Klatskin), un cancer des voies biliaires aussi rare qu’incurable</strong>.
</div>
<div>Au Québec, les traitements disponibles ne sont que palliatifs : ils visent à ralentir la maladie et à « acheter du temps ». <strong>Même s’il a déjà été cruellement privé de ce temps, Nicolas s’accroche de toutes ses forces et garde l’espoir de pouvoir continuer à vivre le plus longtemps possible. </strong>La science avance rapidement, et de nouvelles thérapies ciblées ainsi que plusieurs études cliniques prometteuses sont en développement et pourraient bientôt devenir accessibles pour lui. <strong>Son objectif est clair : rester assez solide — physiquement et financièrement — pour être prêt à saisir toutes les possibilités qui s’offriront à lui</strong>, même si elles pouvaient impliquer d’importants coûts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Un état de santé critique</strong>
</div>
<div>Dès le diagnostic, Nicolas a été hospitalisé plus de deux mois pour stabiliser son état. Il a subi de nombreuses interventions douloureuses, qui ont mené à la pose exceptionnelle de trois drains biliaires permanents.
</div>
<div>Depuis, son quotidien est rythmé par :
</div>
<ul>
<li>des allers-retours hebdomadaires à l’hôpital (chimiothérapie, immunothérapie, changements de drains et de pansements) ;
</li>
<li>des séjours fréquents à l’urgence pour complications (déplacement de drains, subocclusion intestinale, infections) ;
</li>
<li>des soins invasifs à domicile, dont des irrigations de drains deux fois par jour, avec du matériel non couvert par les assurances.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Chaque journée est une épreuve physique et morale à laquelle s'ajoute un stress financier de plus en plus lourd.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Un fardeau financier immense</strong>
</div>
<div>Depuis plus d'un an, Nicolas est en arrêt de maladie et <strong>ne touche que la moitié de son salaire</strong>. De son côté, Noémie a été placée en arrêt de travail pour invalidité, à la suite du choc immense du diagnostic et de la lourdeur de l’épreuve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Les revenus du couple se sont effondrés, laissant un manque à gagner considérable, alors que leurs frais fixes mensuels demeurent inchangés et que s’ajoutent de nombreuses dépenses liées à la maladie. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Le montant demandé reflète à la fois <strong>le vide financier causé par la perte de revenus depuis près d’un an et les dépenses médicales et domestiques à venir.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ Les prochains mois seront particulièrement critiques, tant pour la santé de Nicolas que pour la stabilité financière du couple. <strong>C’est maintenant qu’ils ont besoin d’un élan de solidarité pour alléger ce fardeau immense.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Les assurances ne couvrent pas tous les frais. </strong>Le couple doit assumer :
</div>
<ul>
<li>le coût du stationnement à chaque visite (minimum 11$/jour) et les déplacements fréquents ;
</li>
<li>du matériel médical spécialisé (pansements, produits d’irrigation des drains) ;
</li>
<li>des suivis essentiels mais non couverts;
</li>
<li>un abonnement à Hélico Secours, indispensable s’ils veulent s’éloigner un tant soit peu des grands centres hospitaliers ;
</li>
<li>les frais plus coûteux d'un régime alimentaire adapté à la situation médicale;
</li>
<li>un contrat saisonnier pour l’entretien du terrain, puisque Nicolas ne peut plus s’en occuper et que Noémie ne peut assumer seule l’entretien complet de la maison;
</li>
<li>un besoin devenu essentiel après de longs mois d’épreuve : une aide ménagère, afin de maintenir leur maison habitable malgré l’épuisement;
</li>
<li>une gardienne occasionnelle pour leurs deux jeunes border collies, énergiques et affectueuses, qui font partie intégrante de leur vie.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Offrir un peu de répit et de lumière</strong>
</div>
<div>Au-delà de la survie, Nicolas et Noémie rêvent de petits moments de répit :
</div>
<ul>
<li>s’offrir des repas cuisinés par un traiteur pour alléger le quotidien;
</li>
<li>partager de petites douceurs;
</li>
<li>pouvoir profiter d’instants de qualité ensemble, loin du tumulte médical.
</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Ces instants d’humanité sont aussi précieux que les traitements.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Bref, grâce à votre don, vous aiderez dès maintenant Nicolas et Noémie à :</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>alléger leur quotidien en réduisant la pression financière qui pèse depuis bientôt un an;</em>
</li>
<li><em>couvrir les frais essentiels comme l’hypothèque, l’épicerie et les dépenses du quotidien;</em>
</li>
<li><em>assumer les frais imprévus et urgents de soins médicaux et de déplacements;</em>
</li>
<li><em>créer encore quelques souvenirs heureux ensemble;</em>
</li>
<li><em>saisir l’opportunité que pourraient offrir de nouveaux traitements ou études cliniques prometteuses. </em>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Chaque don compte. Chaque partage répand l’espoir. Chaque geste apporte de l’amour.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ <strong>Faisons la différence</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Ensemble, nous pouvons alléger le poids qui pèse sur Nicolas et Noémie et leur offrir ce qu’ils méritent le plus : du temps, du réconfort, et des moments qui comptent vraiment.</strong>

<div><strong>*****</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>With his wife Noémie by his side, Nicolas Bergeron, 45, is bravely facing a rare and aggressive cancer… but they can no longer do it alone.</em></strong>
</div>
<div>For six long months, Nicolas consulted repeatedly for alarming symptoms that the healthcare system failed to take seriously,<strong> as he had no family doctor</strong>. During those lost months, the cancer silently progressed.
</div>
<div>On October 8, 2024, everything changed. Nicolas went to the ER in critical condition: his bile ducts were blocked by the tumor, and bile had built up in his body, reaching deadly levels. That day, the verdict fell: <strong>stage 4 metastatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Klatskin tumor), a cancer of the bile ducts as rare as it is incurable.</strong>
</div>
<div>In Quebec, the treatments available are only palliative: they aim to slow the disease and “buy time.”
</div>
<div><strong>Even though he has already been cruelly deprived of that time, Nicolas is holding on with all his strength and continues to hope for the chance to keep living as long as possible. </strong>Science is moving quickly, and new targeted therapies as well as several promising clinical trials are in development and could soon become accessible to him. <strong>His goal is clear: to remain strong — both physically and financially — so that he is ready to seize every possibility that may open up</strong>, even if they could involve significant costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A critical state of health</strong>
</div>
<div>From the moment of diagnosis, Nicolas was hospitalized for more than two months to stabilize his condition. He underwent numerous painful procedures, which resulted in the exceptional placement of three permanent biliary drains.
</div>
<div>Since then, his daily life has been marked by:
</div>
<ul>
<li>weekly trips to the hospital (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, drain and dressing changes);
</li>
<li>frequent ER visits for complications (drain displacements, bowel obstruction, infections);
</li>
<li>invasive home care, including flushing his drains twice a day with supplies not covered by insurance.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every day is both a physical and emotional trial to wich is added an increasingly heavy financial burden.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>An immense financial burden</strong>
</div>
<div>For nearly a year now, Nicolas has been on sick leave,<strong> receiving only half of his salary. </strong>For her part, Noémie has been placed on disability leave following the immense shock of the diagnosis and the weight of this ordeal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The couple’s income has collapsed, leaving a significant shortfall, while their fixed monthly expenses remain unchanged and many additional costs related to the illness continue to pile up.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The amount requested reflects both<strong> the financial gap caused by nearly a year of lost income and the upcoming medical and household expenses.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ The coming months will be especially critical — both for Nicolas’s health and for the couple’s financial stability. <strong>Now is when they need a surge of solidarity to help ease this immense burden.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Insurance does not cover all expenses. </strong>The couple must assume the cost of:
</div>
<ul>
<li>parking fees at each hospital visit (minimum $11/day) and frequent travel expenses;
</li>
<li>specialized medical supplies (dressings, drain-flushing products);
</li>
<li>essential but uncovered follow-ups;
</li>
<li>a Hélico Secours emergency evacuation membership, essential if they want to leave the major hospital centers, even briefly;
</li>
<li>the higher costs of a medically adapted diet;
</li>
<li>a seasonal contract for property maintenance, since Nicolas can no longer manage it and Noémie cannot handle the entire household alone;
</li>
<li>an essential need after these long months of hardship: a housekeeper, to help keep their home livable despite exhaustion;
</li>
<li>occasional pet care for their two young, energetic, and affectionate border collies, who are an integral part of their family.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Offering a little respite and light</strong>
</div>
<div>Beyond survival, Nicolas and Noémie dream of small moments of respite:
</div>
<ul>
<li>enjoying prepared meals from a caterer to lighten their daily load;
</li>
<li>sharing small treats;
</li>
<li>being able to spend quality time together, far from the constant medical turmoil.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>These human moments are as precious as the treatments themselves.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In short, with your donation, you will help Nicolas and Noémie:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>compensate for their lost income:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>Ease their daily life by reducing the financial pressure that has weighed on them for nearly a year due to lost income; </em>
</li>
<li><em>Cover essential expenses such as the mortgage, groceries, and everyday needs; </em>
</li>
<li><em>Take on the unexpected and urgent costs of medical care and transportation; </em>
</li>
<li><em>Create a few more happy memories together; </em>
</li>
<li><em>Seize the opportunity that new treatments or promising clinical trials might offer.</em>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every donation matters. Every share spreads hope. Every gesture brings love.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>⚠️ Let’s make a difference.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Together, we can ease the weight carried by Nicolas and Noémie and give them what they need most: time, comfort, and meaningful moments.</strong>
</div>
