Standing with Phúc: Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Supporting Phúc through Hodgkin lymphoma: medication, transport to Thủ Đức University Hospital, and living costs while He cannot work.
Anywhere in the world2,147 views
Phúc was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in July. The oncology team at Thủ Đức University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Phúc is 44, worked as a primary school teacher until July, 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 Thủ Đức University Hospital 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.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $850 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $360
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75
• Transport to Thủ Đức University Hospital: $160
• Scans and lab work: $255
If you're reading this, thank you.

Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Thủ Đức
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Phúc.
It's all in the list in the story. household costs while unable to work is the big one at $360, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
