Standing with Phương: stage 3 ovarian cancer treatment costs
Supporting Phương through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital, and living costs while She can't work.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam2,171 views
Phương was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks.
Phương is 44, worked as a tailor until August, 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 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 her shoulders.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Household costs while unable to work: $310
• Scans and lab work: $100
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $700
• Transport to Hồ Chí Minh City University Hospital: $140
Thank you for reading my story.

I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Love from León
Keep going, Thành. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hang in there, Thành. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Phương
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. household costs while unable to work comes first ($310) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Kisumu but we're thinking of you. Love from Kisumu.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Phương?
Best of luck, Thành. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Pune.
So sorry you're going through this, Thành. Looking forward to the next update.
Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
sending good thoughts, Thành. Wishing Phương a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Praying for you, Thành. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Nagpur
Hope it all works out, Thành. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
