Fighting kidney cancer: help Yupin afford treatment in Pattaya
6 rounds of treatment are planned at Pattaya University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇹🇭 Pattaya, Chonburi, Thailand2,562 views
Yupin was diagnosed with kidney cancer in December. The oncology team at Pattaya University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Yupin is 24, worked as a bank teller until December, 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 Pattaya University Hospital 3 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $450
• Household costs while unable to work: $550
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Transport to Pattaya University Hospital: $200
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

How is Yupin doing now?
Best of luck, Pichai. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yupin?
Thank you. If you're in Pattaya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
thinking of you, Pichai. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 36 people at work
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yupin.
Sure. The biggest one is scans and lab work, $450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Take care, Pichai. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
thinking of you, Pichai. Wishing Yupin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Kano but we're thinking of you.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Flint but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Keep going, Pichai. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Blessings.
Hang in there, Pichai. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
