Rattapon's stage 2 breast cancer treatment fund

Rattapon is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Khon Kaen
Rattapon was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in October. The oncology team at Khon Kaen Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Rattapon is 57, worked as a bank teller until October, 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 Khon Kaen Cancer Centre 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 his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $2,850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,900 • Scans and lab work: $165 • Transport to Khon Kaen Cancer Centre: $115 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $585 With deep gratitude, Saowaluk

    Truly grateful for the support

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

    Amazing support system

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Rattapon?

    • Rima Rima Ghosh

      so sorry you're going through this, Saowaluk. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      • Leonardo K. Serrano

        I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Campinas donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Campinas.

          Rooting for you, Saowaluk. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

          • Bola Kemi IdowuQuestion

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

            • Saowaluk Kulap Eiamsa-ardOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

              It's all in the list in the story. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the big one at $1,900, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.

                  Sending love, Saowaluk. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

                    wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Gdańsk so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Khon Kaen

                            Thanks for sharing this, Saowaluk. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

                              keep going, Saowaluk. This could happen to any of us. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
