Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Hoàng afford treatment in Thủ Đức
Supporting Hoàng through stage 2 breast cancer: medication, transport to the Thủ Đức Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇻🇳 Vietnam1,600 views
Hoàng was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in August. The oncology team at the Thủ Đức Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Hoàng is 58, worked as a nurse 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 Thủ Đức Oncology Institute 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 his shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $105
• Transport to the Thủ Đức Oncology Institute: $120
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,475
If you're reading this, thank you.

hope things get better soon, Bích. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Hoàng a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Irapuato.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hoàng?
Sending love, Bích. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Good luck, Bích. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Arlington.
stay strong, Bích. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Thủ Đức
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dhaka
