Standing with Anh: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
Supporting Anh through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to the Nha Trang Oncology Institute, and living costs while He can't work.
🇻🇳 Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa, Vietnam1,166 views
In August I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at the Nha Trang Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a taxi driver 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 Nha Trang Oncology Institute 4 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $460
• Scans and lab work: $145
• Transport to the Nha Trang Oncology Institute: $115
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $255
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Nha Trang.
keep going, Anh. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Anh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
wishing you the best, Anh. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Wishing you the best, Anh. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Salem donated after I showed her your page
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Love from São Paulo.
