Sơn's prostate cancer treatment fund
4 rounds of treatment are planned at Cầu Giấy Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.
🇻🇳 Cầu Giấy, Hanoi, Vietnam1,779 views
Sơn was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April. The oncology team at Cầu Giấy Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in July. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Sơn is 56, worked as a primary school teacher until April, 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 Cầu Giấy Cancer Centre 3 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 $1,650 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200
• Scans and lab work: $115
• Transport to Cầu Giấy Cancer Centre: $65
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95
• Household costs while unable to work: $175
Thanks for being kind about this.

Shared it with a few friends. Love from Lapu-Lapu.
How is Sơn doing now?
Shared it with a few friends. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Cầu Giấy
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 9 people at work. Take care.
sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Leeds but we're thinking of you. All the best
