Cầu Giấy
Hoàng was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in August. The oncology team at the Cầu Giấy Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 12 weeks. Hoàng is 49, worked as a tailor until August, 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 Cầu Giấy 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 $1,550 goes: • Transport to the Cầu Giấy Oncology Institute: $75 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $100 • Household costs while unable to work: $135 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,240 With deep gratitude, Uyên

        • Kiran Fatima ButtQuestion

          is transport to the Cầu Giấy Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?

          • Uyên Diệp DiepOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            Transport to the Cầu Giấy Oncology Institute is $75 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
