Cầu Giấy
In August I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at Cầu Giấy Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 34, I worked as a hairdresser until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Cầu Giấy Cancer Centre 5 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,400 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $610 • Scans and lab work: $115 • Transport to Cầu Giấy Cancer Centre: $175 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125 • Household costs while unable to work: $375 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Sơn

      Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Cầu Giấy.

      • Tizita Hanna Alemu

        Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

          gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

          • Thanh Tuyết Ha

            hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Pretoria.

            • Sumbal Rabia Lashari

              Thinking of you and your family, Sơn. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Columbus.
