Fighting stomach cancer: help Wichai afford treatment in Phuket
Supporting Wichai through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Phuket University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇹🇭 Phuket, Phuket, Thailand1,403 views
Wichai was diagnosed with stomach cancer in March. The oncology team at Phuket University Hospital has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Wichai is 37, worked as a nurse until March, 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 Phuket 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 his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,950
• Scans and lab work: $360
• Transport to Phuket University Hospital: $230
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $80
• Household costs while unable to work: $430

hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more
This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Wichai?
Thank you. If you're in Phuket I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Addis Ababa
I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
