Standing with Ploy: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

Ploy is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Bangkok
In November I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My oncology team at Bangkok University Hospital has planned 6 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in January. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 39, I worked as a primary school teacher until November, 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 University Hospital 4 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 $2,200 goes: โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $300 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $450 โ€ข Transport to Bangkok University Hospital: $250 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ploy
