Hồ Chí Minh City
In July I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. My oncology team at the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute has planned 8 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 10 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 35, I worked as a taxi driver until July, 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 the Hồ Chí Minh City Oncology Institute 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 $1,800 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,200 • Scans and lab work: $125 • Household costs while unable to work: $330 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $145 Thanks for being kind about this.
