Dae-hyun's thyroid cancer treatment fund
Supporting Dae-hyun through thyroid cancer: medication, transport to the San Jose Oncology Institute, and living costs while He cannot work.
Anywhere in the world3,582 views
Dae-hyun was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the San Jose Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Dae-hyun is 43, worked as a construction supervisor until August, 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 the San Jose Oncology Institute 4 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 $13,600 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $9,000
• Scans and lab work: $1,200
• Transport to the San Jose Oncology Institute: $1,050
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $820
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,530

What exactly is the $13,600 for?
Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $9,000 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you. Wishing Dae-hyun a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Best of luck, Ji-hye. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
Hope it all works out, Ji-hye. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
sending strength, Ji-hye. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Rooting for you, Ji-hye. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
