Fighting early-stage lung cancer: help My afford treatment in Allentown
Supporting My through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Allentown Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
🇺🇸 Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States6,821 views
My was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in August. The oncology team at Allentown Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
My is 52, worked as a taxi driver until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Allentown Regional Medical Center 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $8,000 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,350
• Scans and lab work: $720
• Transport to Allentown Regional Medical Center: $930
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $790
• Household costs while unable to work: $2,210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope the doctors have good news. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this, Ngọc. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best
Hang in there, Ngọc. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Thanks for sharing this, Ngọc. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Allentown.
Stay strong, Ngọc. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
