Incheon
In August I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at the Incheon Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 37, I worked as a primary school teacher until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the Incheon Oncology Institute 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $5,750 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $460 • Household costs while unable to work: $580 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,250 • Scans and lab work: $460 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Jin-ah
