Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Thanaporn afford treatment in Bangkok
Supporting Thanaporn through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Bangkok Regional Medical Center, and living costs while She can't work.
Anywhere in the world2,474 views
Thanaporn was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in July. The oncology team at Bangkok Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 4 weeks.
Thanaporn is 52, worked as a bank teller until July, 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 Bangkok Regional Medical Center 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 $2,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $440
• Transport to Bangkok Regional Medical Center: $220
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $165
• Household costs while unable to work: $475
Thank you so much.
