Fighting stomach cancer: help Young-ho afford treatment in Busan
Supporting Young-ho through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Busan University Hospital, and living costs while He can't work.
🇰🇷 Busan, South Korea2,359 views
Young-ho was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May. The oncology team at Busan University Hospital has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 5 weeks.
Young-ho is 27, worked as a nurse until May, 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 Busan University Hospital 2 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 $2,200 goes:
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380
• Scans and lab work: $980
• Household costs while unable to work: $840
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Busan.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Young-ho.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team comes first ($380) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Busan
