Standing with Chanchai: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs

Chanchai is facing early-stage lung cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Chanchai was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in May. The oncology team at the Bang Khen Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Chanchai is 32, worked as a bakery worker until May, 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 the Bang Khen Oncology Institute 2 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 $1,600 goes: • Scans and lab work: $160 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $110 • Transport to the Bang Khen Oncology Institute: $185 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,145 Thanks for reading all this. - Yupin

Updates from Yupin

  1. 22% there. the plan for scans and lab work is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($128 in total) I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 6% now ($90). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team is now scheduled.

    Keep going, Yupin. Hope you get there. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
