Help Min through 8 rounds of treatment for multiple myeloma

Min is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Min was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in December. The oncology team at the Fresno Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in March. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Min is 57, worked as a bank teller until December, 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 the Fresno 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $9,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $6,000 • Scans and lab work: $760 • Transport to the Fresno Oncology Institute: $720 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $820 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,500 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Zhi

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Min.

    • Zhi Xue TangOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($6,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

  • Hamza Shoaib Ghani

    Rooting for you, Zhi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care!

    • Fatima S. Jones

      thanks for sharing this, Zhi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.

      • Vijay M. Thevar

        Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update

        • Hannah Diana Twum

          Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • Mohan F. Hegde

            Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
