Standing with Eun-kyung: multiple myeloma treatment costs

Eun-kyung is facing multiple myeloma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Seoul
In August I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. My oncology team at Seoul Cancer Centre has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 42, I worked as a bus conductor 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 Seoul Cancer Centre 5 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 $8,700 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750 • Scans and lab work: $1,050 • Transport to Seoul Cancer Centre: $470 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $380 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,050 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Eun-kyung
