Standing with Anh: cervical cancer treatment costs

10 rounds of treatment are planned at Hồ Chí Minh City Cancer Centre; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Hồ Chí Minh City
Anh was diagnosed with cervical cancer in February. The oncology team at Hồ Chí Minh City Cancer Centre has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in June. She will be away from work for about 5 weeks. Anh is 29, worked as a tailor until February, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Hồ Chí Minh City 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 her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $1,550 goes: • Household costs while unable to work: $210 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $130 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $990 • Scans and lab work: $220 Thank you for reading my story.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($563). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the treatment center and confirmed the amounts.
