Chatchai's early-stage lung cancer treatment fund
Chatchai is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand768 views
Chatchai was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in September. The oncology team at Bangkok University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Chatchai is 35, worked as a farmer until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Bangkok University Hospital 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Transport to Bangkok University Hospital: $210
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $740
• Scans and lab work: $150
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bangkok!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transport to Bangkok University Hospital, advice is welcome too.
You're not alone, Anan. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Blessings.
How is Chatchai doing now?
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Ahmedabad.
Wishing you the best, Anan. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.
Good luck, Anan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hang in there, Anan. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Shared this with my family. Sent it to 16 people at work.
