Standing with Yang: thyroid cancer treatment costs
8 rounds of treatment are planned at Atlanta Regional Medical Center; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Yang was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in December. The oncology team at Atlanta Regional Medical Center has planned 8 rounds of treatment, starting in April. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks.
Yang is 53, worked as a bakery worker until December, 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 Atlanta Regional Medical Center 5 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.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $6,800 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $1,250
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $3,500
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $720
• Household costs while unable to work: $1,330
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

hang in there, Jun. Shared this with my family.
so sorry you're going through this, Jun. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yang.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. scans and lab work comes first ($1,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Istanbul.
Praying for you, Jun. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Atlanta.
stay strong, Jun. Get well soon. Don't give up.
