Hoàng's thyroid cancer treatment fund
6 rounds of treatment are planned at the Cầu Giấy Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇻🇳 Vietnam3,441 views
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

Hope things get better soon, Uyên. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Cầu Giấy.
So sorry you're going through this, Uyên. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
Thinking of you, Uyên. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Rohini but we're thinking of you. All the best.
is transport to the Cầu Giấy Oncology Institute the biggest cost or is there more coming?
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.
wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Wudil donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Cầu Giấy
Rooting for you, Uyên. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Chiang Mai.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Uyên. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Lahore donated after I showed her your page!
Wishing you peace, Uyên. Shared this with my family. Love from Nagpur.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
