Standing with Lertchai: stomach cancer treatment costs

Supporting Lertchai through stomach cancer: medication, transport to Bangkok Cancer Centre, and living costs while He cannot work.

In April I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at Bangkok Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in July. I was told to expect about 7 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 48, I worked as a primary school teacher until April, 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 Bangkok Cancer Centre 2 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 $1,100 goes: • Scans and lab work: $250 • Transport to Bangkok Cancer Centre: $190 • Household costs while unable to work: $460 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $200 Thanks for reading all this. - Lertchai

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 29% funded and I made the first payment toward nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team.
