So-yeon's cervical cancer treatment fund

6 rounds of treatment are planned at Mapo Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Mapo
In August I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. My oncology team at Mapo Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in December. I was told to expect about 3 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 31, I worked as a farmer 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 Mapo Cancer Centre 5 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: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,350 • Household costs while unable to work: $880 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $520 Thanks for being kind about this.
