Standing with Lệ: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Lệ is facing Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇻🇳 Vietnam2,245 views
Lệ was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in October. She will be away from work for about 8 weeks.
Lệ is 30, worked as a farmer until July, 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 Regional Medical Center 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 $1,350 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $670
• Scans and lab work: $110
• Transport to Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center: $155
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $115
• Household costs while unable to work: $300
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lệ.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. chemotherapy and medication not covered is the biggest at $670. Let me know if you want more detail.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City!
How is Lệ doing now?
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Best of luck. Get well soon. Love from Cardiff.
Best of luck, Phương. Hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lệ?
Thank you. If you're in Hồ Chí Minh City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thanks for sharing this, Phương. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Corpus Christi!
Hang in there, Phương. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
Hope things get better soon, Phương. I hope things turn around soon. After 30 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City
Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Thinking of you and your family, Phương. Wishing Lệ a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
