Do-hyun's prostate cancer treatment fund
Do-hyun is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 Dallas, Texas, United States2,552 views
Do-hyun was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January. The oncology team at the Dallas Oncology Institute has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Do-hyun is 38, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until January, 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 Dallas 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $560
• Scans and lab work: $1,000
• Household costs while unable to work: $910
• Transport to the Dallas Oncology Institute: $980
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Soo-jin. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Dallas.
hope it all works out, Soo-jin. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you!
Stay strong, Soo-jin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
