Standing with Boon: a rare sarcoma treatment costs

4 rounds of treatment are planned at the Bangkok Oncology Institute; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

In November I was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. My oncology team at the Bangkok Oncology Institute has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 27, I worked as a bakery worker until November, 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 Bangkok Oncology Institute 3 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 $3,100 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,050 • Scans and lab work: $260 • Transport to the Bangkok Oncology Institute: $185 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $95 • Household costs while unable to work: $510 If you're reading this, thank you.
