Fighting thyroid cancer: help Bảo afford treatment in Hanoi

8 rounds of treatment are planned at Hanoi University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Hanoi
In February I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My oncology team at Hanoi University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in June. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 37, I worked as a bank teller until February, 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 Hanoi University Hospital 3 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 $1,050 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $480 • Scans and lab work: $170 • Transport to Hanoi University Hospital: $95 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $255 Thanks for being kind about this.
