Anong's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Bangkok Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand3,291 views
In April I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. My oncology team at Bangkok Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 53, I worked as a construction supervisor until April, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Bangkok Regional Medical Center 2 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,250
• Scans and lab work: $280
• Transport to Bangkok Regional Medical Center: $110
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165
• Household costs while unable to work: $595
Thank you so much.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anong.
Sending good thoughts, Anong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Bangkok.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
