Help Chae-won through 10 rounds of treatment for stage 2 breast cancer
10 rounds of treatment are planned at Seoul Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea1,452 views
Chae-won was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in June. The oncology team at Seoul Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Chae-won is 47, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until June, 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 Seoul Cancer Centre 4 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 $2,250 goes:
• Transport to Seoul Cancer Centre: $700
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $370
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,180
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chae-won.
Transport to Seoul Cancer Centre is $700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Seoul.
