Help Công through 4 rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer
4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam1,401 views
Công was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in April. The oncology team at the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Công is 56, worked as a bank teller until April, 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 the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute 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 $1,050 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $170
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $45
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $835
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Howrah.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Công.
It's all in the list in the story. scans and lab work is the big one at $170, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Stay strong, Thảo. Wishing Công a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
wishing you the best, Thảo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings!
Sending love, Thảo. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
