Hanoi
Vinh was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in July. The oncology team at Hanoi Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 3 weeks. Vinh is 27, worked as a taxi driver 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 Hanoi Regional Medical Center 4 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 $1,950 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150 • Scans and lab work: $270 • Transport to Hanoi Regional Medical Center: $105 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $85 • Household costs while unable to work: $340 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Hiền

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vinh

    • Hiền MaiOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Chemotherapy and medication not covered is $1,150 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
