Help Ji-yeon through 6 rounds of treatment for colon cancer

Supporting Ji-yeon through colon cancer: medication, transport to Busan University Hospital, and living costs while She cannot work.

Ji-yeon was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. The oncology team at Busan University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in August. She will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Ji-yeon is 54, worked as a bakery worker until May, 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 Busan University Hospital 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. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,900 goes: • Scans and lab work: $870 • Transport to Busan University Hospital: $560 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $240 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,230 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hyun-woo

      You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 26 people at work. All the best.

          So sorry you're going through this, Hyun-woo. Shared this with my family. After 29 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything

          • Verónica W. LozanoQuestion

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ji-yeon

            • Hyun-woo Jin-woo ShinOwnerAnswer

              Scans and lab work is $870 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

          • Apurva F. Shah

            Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 32 people at work. Take care.

            • Kevin David Ngowi

              Praying for you, Hyun-woo. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together.

              • Josiah N. Hunter

                Thinking of you, Hyun-woo. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

                • Daniela Cristiane Moraes

                  Best of luck, Hyun-woo. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Envigado donated after I showed her your page.
