Standing with Seung-woo: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs
Seung-woo is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
Anywhere in the world5,590 views
Seung-woo was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in April. The oncology team at Chandler Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in June. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Seung-woo is 55, worked as a tailor until April, 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 Chandler Cancer Centre 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 $5,300 goes:
• Transport to Chandler Cancer Centre: $840
• Scans and lab work: $880
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,580
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Seung-woo!
Transport to Chandler Cancer Centre is $840 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Chandler.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Belém
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Seung-woo?
